Lecturer：Prof. Richard Catlow
University College London
Introduction：
Richard Catlow’s research programme has been based on the development and application of computational techniques used in direct conjunction with experiment in probing the properties of complex materials. This is a key area of contemporary physical sciences whose importance is recognised worldwide. He has played a leading role in developing the field both in the UK and internationally. The impact of his work and of the field in general has been very substantial and continues to grow. His current programme comprises the study of energy materials, catalysis, nano-chemistry and surface chemistry. His work has also exploited the synergy between computation and experiment based on synchrotron radiation and neutron scattering methods especially in catalytic science – a successful approach, which has been recognised worldwide.
He has published 900 papers, book chapters, reviews….. The work has received over 30,000 citations with an H-Index of 83 (Google Scholar). Some representative publications are:
Crystal Structure Prediction from First Principles, Woodley Scott M. and Catlow Richard, NATURE MATERIALS, 7, 937-946 (2008)
