Dr John Morgan
Dr John Morgan is a College Lecturer and Director of Studies in Chemistry at Magdalene.
My work in the chemistry department relates to the use of a set of methods known as the energy landscapes approach, to create computational models to explore the important stable structures and pathways available to a system. The methods are broadly applicable and I have worked on atomic clusters, colloidal systems, virus particles and even machine learning landscapes.
I have developed a broad interest in teaching, including supervising for several colleges, running the third year chemistry computational exercises class and instructing other academics on the use of our group software. I am currently a Director of Studies in chemistry.
