معرفی
Oliver Henrich is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physics at the University of Strathclyde, Faculty of Science, United Kingdom. He is actively involved in research, teaching, and software development in the domain of soft condensed matter physics and computational biophysics. His work bridges physics, chemistry, and biology through advanced simulation techniques.
Research Interests:
- Soft condensed matter physics
- Coarse-grained simulation of DNA and RNA
- Structure, rheology, and microfluidics of liquid crystals
- Development of new soft and functional composite materials
- Mesoscopic simulation methods for complex fluids
- High-performance computing and algorithm development
- Research software engineering
His recent publications focus on lattice Boltzmann simulations of particle dynamics, defect-mediated transport in liquid crystals, and coarse-grained modeling of DNA structures. These works reflect a strong trend toward understanding emergent behavior in soft and biological materials using computational frameworks. He employs methods such as oxDNA and LAMMPS to simulate molecular and mesoscopic systems at scale.
Scientific Awards:
- Chancellor's Fellowship (2017)
- EPSRC Early Career Fellowship (2016)
- EPSRC Research Software Engineer Fellowship (2016)
Oliver Henrich advises PhD students and has supervised vacation research projects, including the Carnegie Vacation Scholarship for Lewis Russell. He is Principal Investigator on multiple funded research projects, including EPSRC grants related to exascale biomolecular simulations and oxDNA3 model development. His work emphasizes both fundamental understanding and practical computational tool development.
He is part of the Soft Matter and Biophysics group within the Physics of Life Sciences, contributing to a collaborative research environment with access to high-performance computing resources such as ARCHIE-WeSt. His professional activities include invited talks at conferences and advisory roles in the EPSRC Peer Review College.
