Dr. James Kermode joins the Warwick Centre for Predictive Modelling and the School of Engineering as an Assistant Professor. He arrives from the Department of Physics at King's College London, where he worked with Prof. Alessandro De Vita to understand fracture at the atomic scale. Dr. Kermode is a theoretical physicist with expertise in developing multiscale materials modelling algorithms and the software that implements them. He has a track record in using this parameter-free modelling to make quantitative predictions of "chemomechanical" materials failure processes where stress and chemistry are tightly coupled, and is looking forward to applying and extending these techniques within the Centre.
