Biography

Claire Hobday is a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow and Chancellor’s Fellow at the University of Edinburgh. Her research focuses on structure-property relationships in materials chemistry, employing a data-driven approach to develop new, greener materials for energy and heat applications. The Hobday group utilizes a broad range of physical and computational techniques, particularly high-pressure crystallography, to probe the response of materials to external forces. This methodology aids in understanding the strength of molecular interactions and mechanical properties, as well as discovering new phases of materials. Furthermore, computational chemistry techniques, including molecular mechanics and density functional theory, are employed to tackle specific challenges within materials chemistry.
