Research History
David Bowler is Professor of Physics at UCL (University College London) and PI in the London Centre for Nanotechnology. He has published over 140 papers and co-authored the graduate textbook, “Atomistic Computer Simulations” (Wiley-VCH, 2013). He is the co-director of the CONQUEST large-scale DFT code, which was recently released under an open source licence (https://www.order-n.org/). He has been a leading figure in the linear scaling density functional theory (DFT) field for over twenty years. Alongside his work in development, he has worked closely with experimental groups throughout his career, publishing over one third of his papers in collaborations. He has concentrated on semiconductor surfaces and nanostructures, as well as the charge density wave in TiSe2, a layered material. He has been an invited professor in the University of Bordeaux (2012-2013) and a visiting scholar at Pembroke College, Cambridge (2017-2018).
