Stefan Bromley (1971) currently leads the “Nanoclusters and Nanostructured Materials” group in the Departament de Química Física & Institut de Química Teòrica i Computacional at the Universitat de Barcelona (UB). He obtained his PhD in Computational Physics (University of Southampton, UK) in 1997 and has held
research posts in the UK (Postdoctoral fellow, Royal
Institution), the Netherlands (Associate Professor, Delft
University of Technology) and Spain (Ramon y Cajal
fellow, UB). Dr. Bromley has published over 80 research articles and 5 book chapters and has given over 30 invited talks. His main research interest is in the structure and properties of inorganic nanoclusters and their use as novel materials building blocks.

Research Interest
|
|
|
With the constant technological drive for device miniaturisation materials are increasingly being utilised on scales approaching only a few 100s or 10s of atoms (the so-called ¨nanoscale¨). Materials with nanoscale dimensions display novel, often unexpected, properties as compared to materials at everyday length scales. Using powerful supercomputers and sophisicated modelling methods, my research aims at obtaining a detailed predictive understanding of the structural, electronic and chemical properties of technologically important materials at the nanoscale.
