Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhilip Hasnip is a lecturer and Research Software Engineer at the University of York with over eight years in RSE roles and two decades of deep involvement in ab initio materials modelling. He is a long-standing developer and co-author of the CASTEP code, contributing both performance and functionality improvements that underpin academic and industrial materials simulations worldwide. His background blends a PhD in Physics and Computer Science from Cambridge with hands-on HPC optimisation, making him equally comfortable with algorithm development and scaling large scientific codes. Philip has transitioned from postdoctoral research into fellowship and teaching roles while maintaining active software stewardship for community tools used in Materials Studio and by the UK Car-Parrinello consortium. Not obviously apparent from his title, he’s built a career at the intersection of reproducible research and production-grade scientific software, helping translate cutting-edge theory into widely usable simulation tools.
