RESEARCH FOCUS
Dr Dundas' research focuses on simulating the response of materials to external forces. The materials range from atoms and molecules in the gas phase to complex nanoscale materials while the external forces include high intensity, short duration laser pulses and dc bias voltages.
This work has been carried out through the development of computer codes that harness high performance computing provision. His research has attracted funding from sources including the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the European Union.
