Andrés Moreno Carrascosa

Andrés is a senior postdoc and an expert on x-ray scattering and code development. He is developing computer programs to simulate molecular dynamics as well as x-ray scattering experiments. Based on a proposal he wrote together with Adam, he is currently funded by the EPSRC.
 

Andrés studied Chemistry at the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain, and Theoretical Chemistry at the Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain. He obtained his PhD under supervision of Adam at the School of Chemistry, University of Edinburgh in 2018. Since then, he worked as a PDRA in the group of Peter M. Weber at Brown University, United States of America, and at the University of Edinburgh. Collaborating closely with experimental groups, he received the prestigious RSC Horizon Prize "for the development of ultrafast x-ray scattering for studying chemical dynamics and structure in photo-excited molecules" in 2021. Andrés moved with our group from Edinburgh to Oxford in September 2022.
