Tom Penfold

The Penfold group is interested in developing and deploying computational methods to understand and control excited state processes.

I completed my PhD in 2010 at the University of Birmingham, supervised by Graham Worth.

After this I spent three years at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland in the group of Majed Chergui.

I then spent 2 years at the Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland, working as a research scientist on the Swiss Free Electron Laser Project.

I started the position of lecturer in theoretical chemistry at Newcastle in September 2015.
