I am a senior material engineer at Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in Japan. I joined the Morris group in May 2019, my primary research interest is the application of various computational analysis methodologies such as structure prediction/searching, theoretical spectroscopy, and machine learning techniques to the development of lithium-ion batteries.

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Morris group, visiting from the University of Cambridge (Prof. Clare Grey). My research interests centre around extending the lifetimes of electrode materials for Li-ion batteries and obtaining an atomistic understanding of charge transport in battery materials.

I am a theoretical condensed matter physicist working as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Physics at the University of Dundee in Scotland. I also hold Honorary Research Fellow position at the Morris Group, University of Birmingham, and Visiting Researcher position at the Grey Group, University of Cambridge. I finished my PhD in June 2018, working on first principles electronic structure study of novel phenomena in complex materials. I then worked as a TRIL Research Fellow for the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) till March 2019. During my time at ICTP I worked on the emerging field of 2D ferromagnets. Thereafter I worked as a Post Doctoral Fellow at the Graz University of Technology (TU Graz, April 2019- March 2021), where I had experience of working on strongly correlated physics from the perspectives of Dynamical Mean Field Theory. I took up the position of Post doctoral Research Associate at the University of Cambridge jointly supervised by Prof. Clare Grey (U. Cambridge) and Prof. Andrew J. Morris (U. Birmingham) (April 2021- Jan 2024), with particular interest field of first principles calculations of energy materials. My current research interests involve understanding from the perspectives of strong correlations, the physics involved in degradation of Li/Na ion batteries, and hybrid perovskite solar cells.

I am a Sims funded PhD student in the Morris Group, within Theory of Condensed Matter, Cambridge. My primary research interest is the application of symmetry to crystal structure prediction. My other research interest is matching electrodes to solid state electrolytes to ensure that a favorable interface is formed.

Before joining the Morris group I studied Natural Sciences, Physics, also in Cambridge.

I am a former Nuclear Engineering student (MEng) at the University of Birmingham, now working towards my PhD.

My research focuses on machine learning potentials and their appliation in high throughput computational modelling of systems relevant to battery cell materials.

I am a PDRA under the EPSRC Additional Skills Funding: Postdoctoral Pathways for Growth. My project extends my PhD work with the Morris group into the crystal structure prediction of 3D covalent-organic frameworks.

I completed my PhD under the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Topological Design at the University of Birmingham, where I combined machine-learned interatomic potentials and density-functional theory to develop design principles for magnetic metal-organic frameworks.

I did my MSc by Research in Physics at the University of Warwick, where I used DFT to calculate work functions and simulate surface reconstructions in III-V semiconductors. I finished my 5-year BSc degree in Applied Physics, with a specialization in Materials Physics, at the University of the Philippines Diliman. My undergraduate thesis focused on a DFT study of small molecule adsorption on graphene.

I was born and raised in Hubei, China. I received my BSc in Chemistry from Ocean University of China in 2019, and later that year, I started PhD in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry at Xiamen University under the supervision of Professor Jun Cheng. My doctoral research concentrated on ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of catalytic processes under in situ and operando conditions. I completed my PhD in Chemistry in 2024. In the same year, I joined the Friščić group at the University of Birmingham as a Research Fellow, where my work focuses on the development and application of theoretical methods to evaluate potential energy landscapes of solid-state materials, exploring their structures and their potential roles in mechanochemical reactions to understand solids and their reactivity.

I obtained my MSci in Theoretical Physics from the University of Birmingham, where my master’s project was focused on accelerating Raman calculations. In 2025, I continued my studies in Birmingham, with my PhD co-supervised by Professor Tomislav Friščić and Professor Andrew Morris. My research focuses on modelling the structure and reactions of materials, with an interest in metal-organic systems. In my spare time, I enjoy training as a decathlete, going to live music events, and spending time with friends.

I obtained my MSci in Theoretical Physics from the University of Birmingham, where my master’s project was on spatial and generalised regularisation in Raman spectroscopy with specific focus on applications towards imaging pharmaceuticals. After completing my MSci, I stayed at the University of Birmingham to do a PhD under the supervision of Professor Andrew Morris. My research focuses on calculating NMR parameters of battery materials using a variety of first principles techniques. Outside of research, I enjoy climbing, which I do both competitively for the University, and for fun with my friends.
