Biography
I am one of a group of pioneers of an area that is now popularly known as 'computational materials science'. Inspired by others who were developing the first simulation techniques for studying phase transitions and thermodynamics in solids, during my PhD candidature (Flinders 1970-1973) I initiated the use of the Monte Carlo method for calculating self-diffusion kinetics properties of solids. In the years at ANSTO (1973-1975), Argonne National Laboratory (1975-1985), ICI-Australia (1985-1986) and the University of Newcastle (1986-present) I have developed a very large number of Monte Carlo-based techniques to address a very wide range of complex diffusion problems occurring in engineering materials. Much of this work has been driven because of the absence of analytical theory. These simulations have frequently shaped contemporary thinking and have provided valuable bench-marks for the testing of analytical theories, many of which I have developed too (see below). I am acknowledged as the first to use Monte Carlo methods for simulating tracer correlation functions, impurity diffusion, ionic conductivity, interdiffusion, diffusion in the presence of traps, solvent/solute diffusion enhancement, the vacancy-wind effect (and its visualization), isotope effects, segregation, dislocation pipe diffusion, grain boundary/interphase diffusion and diffusion-limited evaporation. I was also the first to develop Monte Carlo-based methods for calculating incoherent phase equilibria and chemical potentials in solids. I also initiated and developed hybrid simulation strategies wherein Monte Carlo methods are combined in different ways with molecular dynamics or lattice relaxation methods. This has greatly extended the possibilities of computer simulation. Recently, I have initiated and developed a multi-scale modelling method (Lattice Monte Carlo). This unusually powerful method enables complex macroscopic diffusion problems to be mapped onto a very fine grained grid that is then explored by virtual entities representing spatially and temporally different diffusivities. This method shows far greater flexibility in diffusion applications than non-linear finite element methods. Applications have been to grain boundary diffusion and especially to thermal transport where the exploring entities are virtual heat particles that can capture changes in density, specific heat and thermal conductivity. Examples include transient heat into moving boundary 'phase-change' energy storage sinks and heat conduction in actual cellular metals by making use of their CT images. The method has also been successfully extended to coupled mass and thermal diffusion (Soret and Dufour effects). Self-assembly by diffusion in nano-level materials is especially significant because of the very small diffusion distances and the dominating role of the surface energy. Much of diffusion theory developed for bulk materials is no longer directly relevant at this scale. I have a high profile in this area having developing new strategies using Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics and ab initio methods with much of the interest on the formation and stability of hollow nanostructures and interdiffusion and reactions in core-shell bi-metallic structures including high speed combustion synthesis. I have also developed a considerable body of analytical theory in many areas of diffusion kinetics. Some highlights of this work are the first derivations of the exact Nernst-Einstein and near-exact Nernst-Planck Equations, the description of correlation and vacancy-wind effects in intermetallics, the use of a 'sum-rules' relating phenomenological transport coefficients which greatly simplifies complex diffusion problems involving segregation and interdiffusion, and the development of robust inverse procedures to extract fundamental information directly from the extensive experimental chemical diffusion data available.

Collaboration
My research interests are in computational engineering with a specialty on all aspects of mass and thermal transport and associated phenomena in engineering materials. My interests cover mass diffusion at the nanoscale right through to thermal diffusion in macro cellular metals.
I study the following atomic transport processes: tracer diffusion, interdiffusion, impurity and solute diffusion, grain boundary diffusion, dislocation pipe diffusion, ionic conductivity and segregation in many material groups including fast ion conductors, engineering ceramics (including nuclear fuels), multicomponent alloys, intermetallics, nano-materials and heterogeneous materials. I am the first to perform computer simulations for many atomic transport processes.
