Biography

Professor Scott Habershon specializes in Computational Chemistry and is known for his work on developing and applying new computational methods to model chemical dynamics in complex systems. His current research includes the auto-construction of complex chemical reaction networks, reaction rate calculations, and the design of photo-switchable systems, such as photo-catalysts and sensors. He received his PhD from the University of Birmingham and has held postdoctoral positions at Caltech and the University of Oxford, as well as an early career fellowship at the University of Bristol. He has been a faculty member at the University of Warwick since 2012, progressing from Assistant Professor to his current role as Professor. His research interests also extend to quantum chemistry calculations, protein folding, and methods that integrate machine learning into chemical simulations. He has led various funding projects focused on quantum dynamics simulations and catalyst design.
