Biography

David Lykkegaard Christensen is a PhD student at Aalborg University, specializing in the mechanics of oxide glasses within the Department of Chemistry and Bioscience. His research aims to advance the understanding of the mechanical response of oxide glasses through an interdisciplinary approach that employs computational techniques, including machine learning and molecular dynamics simulations, alongside experimental methods such as indentation testing and nano diffraction. He investigates how the structure of oxide glasses affects their mechanical behavior, with implications for developing stronger and tougher glass materials which can lead to new applications and improve existing ones. His knowledge contributes to the potential for designing thinner glass products, which promise to lower carbon footprints and reduce the consumption of raw materials. Additionally, he serves as a teaching assistant for undergraduate courses in general chemistry and has previously supported teaching in physical chemistry.
