Dr Lorenzo Stella

School of Mathematics and Physics

Dr Stella's research activities involve the use and development of numerical models often in partnership with experimentalists in the School of Maths and Physics of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. 

Those models include classical and quantum Monte Carlo
 techniques, nonadiabatic molecular dynamics, time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) for nanoplasmonics, out-of-equilibrium molecular dynamics by the generalised Langevin equation (GLE), and finite-element methods for radiation damage. Those activities are partially funded by the EPSRC, the Royal Society, and the European Union.
