Biography

Kim Jelfs is a Professor in Computational Materials Chemistry at Imperial College London. He utilizes computational approaches to enable the discovery of functional molecular materials. His research focuses on predicting how the assembly of individual units affects the self-assembly properties of materials. Jelfs aims to apply large scale computational screening of precursor libraries to create databases of viable, functional materials. He has established strong ongoing links with synthetic collaborators, which facilitate the synthetic realization of his predictions. His current work emphasizes porous molecular materials, organic electronics, and membrane materials. Jelfs' research efforts are supported by significant funding from the Royal Society, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the Leverhulme Trust, the European Research Council (ERC), and various industry partners.
