Dr. Peter Brommer joins the Warwick Centre for Predictive Modelling and the School of Engineering as Assistant Professor. He arrives from Physics at Warwick, where he was working with David Quigley, Neil Wilson and Gavin Bell. Peter obtained his PhD from the University of Stuttgart working on obtaining effective potentials for complex metallic alloys. He later spent some time at the Université de Montréal, where he studied defect evolution in irradiated materials.

Peter is the main author of potfit, an implementation of the Force Matching method, and his expertise is in multiscale materials modelling.
