Malcolm Jardine

I am a condensed theorist with experience in computational methods and materials science. I have experience conducting density functional theory calculations on solid state systems, with a focus on heterojunction interfaces and ARPES data comparisons. The materials simulated are to investigate systems properties relevant to topological quantum computing applications.

My calculations involve using PBE+U methods on large atomic systems, using a machine learned Bayesian machine algorithm to obtain the effective Hubbard U value.

Additionally, I have experience simulating topological Majorana zero mode systems with focus on 1D semiconductor-nanowire/ superconductor platforms. I have conducted micromagnetic field simulations, using MuMax3, and combined the magnetic calculations with a tri-junction Majorana setup.
