Dr. Martin Bates is a Researcher in the Department of Chemistry at the University of York, leading the theory and simulation arm of the York Liquid Crystal Group. His research focuses on understanding self-organizing and self-assembling materials at the molecular level through computational modeling and simulation.
Key research interests include liquid crystals, biaxial nematic phases, dipole effects on molecular behavior, polydisperse mixtures, and the interplay between molecular flexibility and phase stability. His work explores how molecular features like dipoles and flexibility influence material properties, with recent emphasis on stabilizing biaxial phases in bent-core molecules.
He collaborates with experimentalists within the York Liquid Crystal Group to bridge theoretical predictions with empirical findings. His simulations analyze phase transitions and molecular arrangements in systems ranging from simple nematic displays to complex supermolecules.
