During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Join us for a one-day workshop dedicated to the powerful synergy between neutron techniques and computational simulations in the field of catalysis. This event is designed for both newcomers and experienced researchers interested in how neutron scattering methods—such as inelastic and quasielastic neutron scattering, neutron diffraction, and spectroscopy—can be complemented and enhanced by computational approaches like Density Functional Theory (DFT), QM/MM, and molecular dynamics.
Through a series of talks, discussions, and networking opportunities, we will explore:
How neutron techniques provide unique insights into catalytic structure, dynamics, and mechanisms.
The role of simulations in interpreting neutron data and predicting catalytic behaviour.
Case studies demonstrating the integration of experimental and computational methods.
Opportunities for collaboration and access to facilities and resources.
Speakers include:
Dr. Maciej Bartkowiak, ISIS Neutron and Muon Source
Prof. Richard Catlow, Cardiff/UCL
Dr. Arunabhiram Chutia, Lincoln
Dr. Marta Falkowska, University of Manchester
Dr. Adam Jackson, STFC Scientific Computing
Prof. Tom Keal, STFC Scientific Computing
Dr. Alexander O’Malley, Bath
Dr. Sarah Rogers, ISIS Neutron and Muon Source
Dr. Ian Silverwood, ISIS Neutron and Muon Source
Lewis Waller, Southampton
Whether you’re looking to expand your toolkit or deepen your understanding of these complementary approaches, this workshop offers a valuable platform to connect, learn, and innovate.
