Biography
Sadegh received his PhD in Physics from the Dresden University of Technology in 2022. His areas of expertise are condensed matter physics and computational materials science, with a particular focus on the electronic and dynamical properties of low-dimensional materials. His research is based on density functional theory (DFT) and ab-initio/force-field molecular dynamics. He joined the group of Prof. Elena Besley at the University of Nottingham in 2021.
Current Research Project
- Computational modelling of nanocluster dynamics and formation by magnetron sputtering.
- Simulation of ion-metal interactions, i.e. the sputtering process of metal targets under ion irradiation.
- Vapor (i.e. sputtered metal particles) dynamics and in-flight metal atoms collisions.
- Investigation of metal atom and cluster deposition onto various support materials.
