معرفی
Esmae Woods is a Research Fellow in the Department of Engineering, specializing in theoretical and computational physics with a focus on algorithmic and software development. She completed her PhD at the University of Cambridge, where she studied dynamical processes on energy landscapes, particularly in large ill-conditioned systems. Currently, she contributes to the MaThRad project, advancing Monte Carlo simulations for radiation transport applications such as criticality safety calculations.

Her research bridges computational physics, numerical analysis, and biophysics. She develops algorithms to address challenges in energy landscape analysis, rare event simulations, and Markov chain modeling. Recent work emphasizes Monte Carlo methods for radiation transport and multiscale modeling of chromatin organization.
Publications highlight her contributions to fields including energy transfer in photosynthetic systems, polaritonic rate suppression, and the structural dynamics of chromatin. Her methods are particularly impactful for systems where numerical instability complicates direct computation.
Woods collaborates with researchers like Eugene Shwageraus and David J. Wales, advancing mathematical and computational frameworks in interdisciplinary contexts.
