A NERC eScience testbed project

Ilian Todorov

I specialise in development of Molecular Dynamics and Monte Carlo codes. I work as an Application Developer in collaboration with Dr. W. Smith at Daresbury Laboratory. My responsibilities include development, design and testing of DL_POLY_3, the flagship national UK code for Molecular Dynamics.

Background notes:

My work involves continuous improvement of the quality, capability and performance of DL_POLY_3 as well as conducting new and original research and continually evaluating results. DL_POLY_3 is a Molecular Dynamics code intended for terascale simulations on HPC clusters. Targeted system sizes are of 10⁶ particles and larger. Such sizes are of high demand for Radiation Damage simulations.

I am a very keen badminton, squash and table tennis player. I have a number of hobbies such as mountain hiking and climbing, cooking, reading in English, Bulgarian and Russian, listening to classical music and playing card games as well as solving maths and number theory problems.
