Biography

Ricardo Grau-Crespo is a Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London, UK. His research uses a combination of density functional theory and machine learning techniques to understand and predict the behaviour of materials in thermoelectric, photocatalytic, and other applications. He is also interested in the theory of site-disordered materials and the development of computational tools for calculating their properties. Dr Grau-Crespo earned a BSc and MSc in Physics at the University of Havana, Cuba.

After working for a few years researching zeolite-based catalysts for the Cuban oil industry, Ricardo moved to the UK with an Overseas Research Studentship award to pursue a PhD at Birkbeck, University of London. He then held a postdoctoral position and a subsequent four-year lectureship at University College London, before joining the University of Reading in 2013 where he was Research Division Leader for Chemical Sciences. He has published over 110 articles in the field of computational materials science and is a Fellow of the 浪花直播 (FRSC).
