Anthony Paxton is Professor of Theory and Modelling in Condensed Matter in the Atomistic Simulation Centre. He was elected to a
Fellowship of the Institute of Physics in 2006 and serves on the IoP
Fellowships panel. He was Programme Chair of the Eleventh International
Conference on Interfaces and Internal Boundaries (IIB2004) and Guest editor
of the proceedings in J. Mat. Sci (2005). He was on the International
Organising Committee of the Third and Fifth International Conferences on
Multiscale Modelling (2006 and 2010). He was External Examiner to the
MSc(Eng) Advanced Engineering Materials at the University of Liverpool
between 2006 and 2008. He is External Examiner to the Centre for Doctoral Training in Theory and Simulation of Materials in the Department of Physics,
Imperial College London; where he also served on the Periodic Review of
Research Degree Training in 2010. He is a member of the Steering Committee
of the FP7 programme of the European Commission, MultiHy. He is attached to
the Fraunhofer Institut fuer Werkstoffmechanik
