Senior🎓
Top SchoolRebecca Nicholls is an EPSRC Advanced Research Fellow leading a materials research group at the University of Oxford, specializing in electron microscopy and quantum mechanical simulations to predict and probe nanoscale structure and chemistry. With 15 years’ experience and a DPhil from Oxford following a First Class MSci in Natural Sciences (Physics) from Cambridge, she combines deep experimental skill with atomistic computational modelling to link theory and high-resolution observation. Her work focuses on understanding materials behaviour at the atomic scale, translating microscopy data into predictive insight for materials design. Based in Oxford, she is known for integrating cutting-edge imaging with simulation workflows—often revealing subtle chemical ordering and defects that are not obvious from experiments alone.
