I have made the decision to migrate my activity across to @bluesky. I am sure this doesn't need much explaining...
Find me at: @chriswoodgate.bsky.social
I will maintain this account and historic posts, but activity will be markedly reduced.
See you where the sky is bluer! ☀️

Pleased to be able to share another #research publication, this time examining the computational efficiency of various proposed parallelisation schemes for the Wang–Landau sampling scheme, useful for studying phase transitions. 📝

My latest #publication examines why Ni diffuses so sluggishly in Fe-Ni #alloys, with local lattice distortions—and associated magnetism—playing a key role. 🧲

We present a combined #experimental and #computational investigation into how an applied #magnetic field can affect #spinodal #decomposition in Cu-Ni-Fe #alloys. Enjoy! 🧲

Delighted to have been named as part of the 2024 cohort of CoSeC fellows!
Really looking forward to using this career development fellowship to act as an ambassador for the Centre, and to build bridges between the UK’s computational communities! 🚀

Today is my first day as an EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellow in the School of Physics at the University of Bristol!
I am really looking forward to connecting with a range of theoretical, computational, and experimental collaborators at Bristol and beyond!

It was great to attend the 2024 @CCP5UK conference and AGM this week, hosted by @sheffielduni
My talk on concentration waves in #HighEntropyAlloys was well received, and there were lots of great talks from other researchers at all career stages!

PhDone! ✅
It’s been a while since my viva, and even longer since I submitted my thesis, but today was the day of my #PhD graduation ceremony! 👨🎓
It was great to attend the celebrations with my family, and to catch up with friends from my time as a student at @warwickuni

Had a great week attending (and presenting at) the International Conference on Magnetism 2024 in Bologna, Italy. 🇮🇹
Some great discussions throughout the week!

Great to be at the International Conference on Magnetism @ICM2024 in Bologna this week! 🧲
At 11:30 today, I will be giving a talk presenting some of our recent work on the FeNi system, which is a candidate rate-earth-free permanent magnet. See you there!

Busy day today presenting at two conferences across two locations!
This morning, I presented an invited talk at PEMD 2024 in Nottingham, organised by @TheIET. Then, this afternoon, I gave a poster presentation at the @TheoryIOP annual meeting.
Great discussions at both events!

Back from a great trip to the US, visiting collaborators at @Northeastern in Boston for a few days, before heading on to present at the @Materials_MRS 2024 Spring Meeting in Seattle.
Had chances to catch up with some existing connections, as well as to forge a few new ones!

Check out our latest research article, published #OpenAccess in the Journal of Applied Physics today: doi.org/10.1063/5.0200862
We examine how the addition of Ti to refractory high-entropy alloys can lead to competition between phase segregation and phase ordering.
