Modelling Atomic Arrangements in Multicomponent Alloys: A Perturbative, First-Principles-Based Approach

Christopher D. Woodgate is a theoretical physicist with a joint-honours degree in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Warwick. After completing his undergraduate studies, he pursued a PhD in theoretical physics at the same institution, under the supervision of Prof. Julie B. Staunton. His doctoral research focused on the physics of alloys and permanent magnets, and involved a blend of theory and computation, utilizing a range of techniques in computational materials modelling. He carried out his research as part of the UK EPSRC-funded Centre for Doctoral Training in Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems, which exposed him to a diverse range of computational materials modelling techniques.

Outside of his research, he enjoys pursuing two hobbies: the sport of archery and the ringing of church bells. He has been practising archery since the age of 11, has been competing in the sport for over a decade, and also holds an Archery GB Level 2 coaching qualification. He took up bell ringing while studying as an undergraduate at Warwick and is now a member of the Association of Ringing Teachers.

克里斯多福·D·伍德蓋特（Christopher D. Woodgate）是一位理論物理學家，擁有華威大學的數學與物理雙學位。完成本科學業後，他在同一所學校攻讀理論物理的博士學位，指導教授為朱莉·B·斯通頓（Prof. Julie B. Staunton）。他的博士研究專注於合金和永久磁鐵的物理，結合了理論與計算，運用了多種計算材料建模技術。他的研究是作為英國工程與物理科學研究委員會（UK EPSRC）資助的異質系統建模博士培訓中心的一部分，這使他接觸到多樣的計算材料建模技術。

在研究之外，他喜歡追求兩項愛好：射箭和教堂鐘聲的敲響。他自11歲起開始練習射箭，並在這項運動中競賽超過十年，還擁有英國射箭協會（Archery GB）二級教練資格。他在華威大學本科期間開始學習敲鐘，現在是敲鐘教師協會的成員。
