Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Brommer is an Associate Professor in computational materials science with 23 years of experience bridging theoretical physics and practical atomistic simulation. He earned a PhD in Theoretical Physics from Universität Stuttgart and progressed through postdoctoral positions in Montréal and Warwick to a faculty role where he develops force fields, multiscale simulation techniques and time-acceleration methods such as adaptive kinetic Monte Carlo. He is the original author of potfit and applies surrogate modelling—Gaussian processes and neural networks—to accelerate materials prediction and simulation. Based in Coventry and embedded in the HetSys Centre for Doctoral Training, he combines deep theoretical training with hands-on open-source tooling to translate complex physics into usable computational methods.
