About

Personal Summary - Lucy Whalley

I am an Associate Professor at Northumbria University.

I use solid state physics, quantum chemistry and supercomputers to connect microscopic processes (e.g. electron capture) with material performance (e.g. open circuit voltage). See here for more details.

I am a fellow of the Software Sustainability Institute, an Associate Editor at the Journal of Open Source Software, Theme Lead in the Materials Chemistry Consortium and a co-lead in Sonic Intangibles. I am interested in how we can improve research practice in the computational sciences, with a particular interest in how we can work in an open and interdisciplinary way, and how we can best share and publish research software.

I currently teach programming, computational physics and quantum mechanics to undergraduates and postgraduates. I am a qualified teacher (PGCE) and have taught in a variety of settings - universities, prisons, primary schools and cafes.

I co-organise the Rising Stars workshops to support under-represented groups in Materials Science.

And I am a mum to 1,2,3,4 5 year old Robin, who I am training to be a world class Hacker.
