Nick Quirke Ph.D.
Nick Quirke is Professor of Physical Chemistry and Head of the Computational, Theoretical and Structural Chemistry Section at Imperial College, University of London. He is also Director, Masters Programme in Nanomaterials and Director, Postgraduate Training. Quirke received the 2006 Nano Science and Technology Institute (NSTI) Fellow Award for his outstanding contributions to advancing the International Nanotechnology, Microtechnology and Biotechnology Community. Prof. Quirke's research group conducts fundamental research in key areas of computational nanoscience, with an in-depth interest in simulating nanoflows. The way fluids flow into and fill regular nanopores is of wide interest; however there is little experimental data and few validated theoretical models. Nanoscale flow is dominated by surface properties and these can be studied directly using molecular simulation of model systems. Career HighlightsPrior to joining Imperial College, Quirke was Professor of Physical Chemistry and Director, Centre for Computational Chemistry at the University of Wales in Bangor. Prior to that, he was Deputy Director of the European Center for Computational Science and Technology. Early in his career, Quirke worked for British Petroleum, where he was a Principal Research Associate for corporate molecular modeling, where he directed BP's research into applications of modeling for the exploration, chemical and oil busines. AwardsHe is a Visiting Fellow at the National Physical Laboratory (UK). He received the 1998 Royal Society of Chemistry Medal for Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics and was Royal Society/Kan Tong Po Professor at the University of Hong Kong for the session 2003/2004. He was awarded the 2006 NSTI Fellow Award for Outstanding Contributions towards the Advancement of the International Nanotechnology, Microtechnology and Biotechnology Community.Important Articles
