Stewart Clark studied maths and physics at the University of Aberdeen, then did a PhD at the University of Edinburgh. His PhD thesis was on Complex Structure in Tetrahedral Semiconductors.
He spent three years as a post-doc researcher at Edinburgh before moving to the University of Durham as Lecturer in Physics. He is now a professor in Physics at Durham.
His research interests lie mainly in the development of density functional theory (DFT) and the implementation of the work with the CASTEP code:
- Programming and implementing first principle and empirical computer simulations for solid state, liquid and molecular systems.
- Density functional perturbation theory.
- First principles calculation of spectroscopic measurements.
- Computer simulations of structural and vibrational properties.
- Development of new techniques to calculate excited electronic states.
- Large scale computer simulations using high performance computing.
