Jacek Dziedzic

Dr. Jacek Dziedzic is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Southampton, working in the group of Chris-Kriton Skylaris. His research focuses on linear-scaling density functional theory (O(N)-DFT) and the development of the ONETEP computational code. Key areas of expertise include implicit solvation methods, Hartree-Fock exchange, and QM/MM methodologies with polarizable force fields. His work contributes to advancing computational chemistry and materials science, particularly in understanding electrochemical processes and material defects.

His research interests span computational materials science, electrochemistry, and theoretical chemistry. Notable contributions involve developing efficient computational methods for large-scale systems and applying these to study lithium battery mechanisms, thin film growth, and defects in materials such as strontium titanate.

While no specific awards are listed, his publications highlight significant contributions to understanding lithium deposition in batteries, electronic structure calculations in electrolytes, and the role of electrostatics in enzyme modeling. His work on the ONETEP code aims to bridge the gap between computational efficiency and accuracy in large-scale quantum mechanical simulations.

Jacek Dziedzic collaborates on projects involving battery materials, nanotechnology, and computational methods for complex systems. He is part of the Computational Systems Chemistry research group, contributing to interdisciplinary efforts in materials and energy research.
