Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDylan Jayatilaka is a quantum chemist and crystallographer with over a decade of research and software development experience, currently based in Göttingen and working at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Science. A Cambridge-educated PhD who spent many years as a professor and now emeritus at the University of Western Australia, he helped define the field of quantum crystallography and applies high-resolution X-ray and neutron diffraction to molecular crystals. He is the author of the widely used CrystalExplorer program and the open-source Tonto quantum chemistry library, and is fluent in scientific programming—designing a Fortran 2008 dialect and working primarily on Unix systems. His expertise spans rovibrational and electromagnetic property calculations, numerical linear algebra, and the practical application of synchrotron and reactor experiments. A 2022 highly cited researcher, he combines deep theoretical insight with hands-on instrumentation and software that the pharmaceutical and crystallography communities rely on. Now on sabbatical, he is exploring new career directions while continuing collaborative research across Europe and Australia.
