- Reported the first Quantum Mechanical (QM) prediction of the effect of chemical environment on fracture toughness. Provided a demonstration to industry of how advanced QM modelling can be used to predict the effects of chemistry on materials (e.g. to Rolls-Royce, David.Rugg@Rolls-Royce.com; and to TWI, Tyler.London@twi.co.uk; both now partners in Warwick's HetSys CDT, EP/S022848/1, £5.7M). The work further made the case for Leverhulme Trust (£385k) and EPSRC (EP/R043612/1, £537k) grants, both interdisciplinary collaborations with mathematics. More broadly, led to Kermode being invited to join UKCP HEC consortium (EP/P022065/1).
