Numerical simulation and high performance computing

• Professor Asen Asenov - development of 2D and 3D quantum mechanical, Monte Carlo and classical device simulators and their application in the design of advanced and novel CMOS devices. Pioneered the simulations of statistical variability in nano-CMOS devices including random dopants, interface roughness and line edge roughness.
• Dr Lukasz Kaczmarczyk - computational mechanics for heterogeneous and multi-scale materials. Computational homogenisation and high-performance computing applied to the fracturing of quasi-brittle materials and the bone remodelling.
• Dr Campbell Millar - High Performance Computing and numerical simulation, large scale modelling of semiconductor devices and circuits, as well as the simulation of bio-nanotechnology devices and biological proteins.
• Dr Chris Pearce - computational solid mechanic, including multi-scale modelling of heterogeneous materials, modelling of quasi-brittle materials and modelling of coupled problems, computational biomechanics.
• Dr Wim Vanderbauwhede - works on accelerating High-Performance Computing applications using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Graphical Processing Units (GPUs).  These novel hardware platforms have the potential to speed up many types of HPC applications by exploiting the latent parrallelism in the algorithms.
