About

Personal Summary - Lucy Whalley

Our research uses solid state physics, quantum chemistry and supercomputers to connect microscopic processes (e.g. electron capture) with material performance (e.g. open circuit voltage). Most of our research relates to photovoltaic materials.

I am an Assistant Professor at Northumbria University, and was previously a researcher in the Materials Design Group at Imperial College London.

I am a fellow of the Software Sustainability Institute, an Associate Editor at the Journal of Open Source Software and co-lead at the Materials Chemistry Consortium. I am interested in how we can improve research practice in the computational sciences, with a focus on working openly and software publishing.

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