Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry

 

Final year PhD student studying as part of the ICE group and completing qualification under the Syntech CDT. 

My research interests revolve around the use of machine-learned potentials for simulating complex and extended molecular systems. Specifically, I investigate systems containing CO2 and water and try to better understand the way in which these molecules interact with each other. Research highlights include simulating bulk CO2-H2O systems relevant to carbon capture and storage technologies as well as investigating acidification processes at the ocean surface. 

Currently, I am using machine-learned potentials to investigate defective carbon and the role of vacancies in facilitating chemical reactions.
