Dr Catherine Ramsbottom

School of Mathematics and Physics

Dr Ramsbottom has worked on the calculation of atomic data of relevance to astrophysics for over 20 years, and previously held a PPARC Advanced Fellowship.  She has a recognised international reputation in the field and is now leading the research programme on the calculation of complex (open d-shell) atomic data for astrophysics with the new state-of-the-art R-Matrix codes on massively parallel supercomputers around the world.

Her research has attracted funding from a number of sources including the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council, the European Union and the Leverhulme Trust.
