The history of polytope theory provides an instance of the essential unity of our civilisation, and the consequent absurdity of international strife.
— From the preface to the first edition of Regular Polytopes by H. S. M. Coxeter.
I am a computer scientist in the group of Professor Andy Cooper at the Leverhulme Research Centre for Functional Materials Design, University of Liverpool. My current research focuses on understanding crystallisation of molecular crystals to develop more ethical and sustainable methodologies for molecular crystal structure prediction.
This work integrates areas of discrete geometry, information geometry, and mathematical chemistry with the aim of translating mathematical principles into practical chemical applications, thereby facilitating the computational design of novel materials through purely geometric modelling.
