The focus of our research is in
developing and applying novel computer simulation techniques to extend
our understanding of the structure, stability and reactivity of
ceramics and minerals at the atomic level. There are broadly three main
areas where we apply these techniques, firstly the structure and
stability of solid surfaces, secondly chemical reactions occurring at
solid surfaces and finally, the modification of crystal structures.

student. The car provides a constant reminder for the need to
understand and control oxide growth.
