Dr. Bartomeu Monserrat is the Gianna Angelopoulos Lecturer in Computational Materials Science at the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy of the University of Cambridge.
He obtained a PhD in Physics from the University of Cambridge in 2015, and was then appointed Henslow Research Fellow (2015-19), also at the University of Cambridge. He concurrently held positions as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Rutgers University (USA, 2015-17) and later on as Winton Advanced Research Fellow (2018-19) at the University of Cambridge.
His group works on the development and use of quantum mechanical methods to investigate material properties, spanning a range of topics in the physical sciences that include topological materials, photovoltaics, superconductors, and planetary physics. This work has been recognised with the 2018 Psi-K Volker Heine Young Investigator Award.
