Biography

Sergei Dudarev is a Visiting Professor in the Department of Materials at the University of Oxford and a Senior Fellow at the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA). His research focuses on the development of multiscale mathematical models for fusion materials, which encompass a variety of complex phenomena. Dudarev's work includes the application of density functional theory to model defect structures in metals and alloys, providing insights into the behavior of materials under various conditions. He utilizes stochastic models to study defects, dislocations, and microstructures induced by high radiation doses, exploring how these factors influence the physical properties of materials. Additionally, he investigates spin-lattice dynamics to understand the effects of magnetism on the properties of alloys and steels. His expertise encompasses high-performance computing simulations that bridge atomistic scales to finite element analyses for evaluating material performance in fusion reactor environments.
