Professor Graeme Day FRSC
Winner: 2023 Corday-Morgan Prize
University of Southampton
For pioneering the development of computational methods for guiding the discovery of functional molecular crystals.
Celebrate Professor Graeme Day
Materials with specific properties are needed in many areas of our lives, and to address societal challenges such as gas capture, energy and data storage, and healthcare. To address these, we need to accelerate the process of discovering materials with targeted properties. Many materials are crystalline and their properties depend strongly on the mutual arrangement of atoms or molecules. Professor Day’s research develops computational chemistry methods to predict the structures of molecular crystals and their resulting properties. His research aims to create methods for discovering new materials. As well as the development of new computational methods, his current research applies these methods in a range of applications, including porous materials, organic semiconductors, energetic materials, photocatalysts and pharmaceuticals.
