Chris-Kriton Skylaris began his doctoral research
on electronic structure methods, including
linear-scaling algorithms, in April 1996 in
Theoretical Chemistry
in Cambridge . Following an EU ICARUS Fellowship
at the CINECA supercomputing centre in Italy to train
in parallel code development,
he began research as a postdoc for Mike Payne in
TCM in December 1999. In October 2004 he took up a
Royal Society University
Research Fellowship in
Oxford and in June 2006 a Lectureship
in Structural and Materials Chemistry in
Southampton .
Arash Mostofi has worked on linear-scaling methods
since 2000, completing his doctoral research in TCM in 2003. He is a
Research Fellow at Christ's College, Cambridge, and is currently on
intermission to do research in the Department of Materials Science and
Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Mike Payne holds the Chair of Computational
Physics at the University of Cambridge. He has worked on first
principles total energy calculations since 1985 and is the author of
the first principles total energy pseudopotential code CASTEP. He was
awarded the 1996 Maxwell Medal and Prize by the Institute of Physics
and gave the 1998 Mott Lecture.
