Tom Penfold Research Group

Picture
We are a computational and theoretical chemistry research group based at the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences at Newcastle University. Our research interests are focused upon developing methods for and understanding excited state properties, nonadiabatic ultrafast dynamics and time-resolved spectroscopy.

​In this site you can find out what’s going on in our laboratory, including our current research.

Open Positions

PhD Studentship (Start Oct. 2021) 
This PhD studentship involves the development and application of our recently developed Deep Neural Network for X-ray Absorption Spectra (See 1 and 2). The objective will be to enable the rapid prediction and analysis of complicated experimental spectra.
For more information click here or contact Tom directly. 


There is always the possibility to join our group using a wide variety of funding schemes.
