Dr Daniel Celis Garza

Daniel obtained his BSc. Chemistry at the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education. He then worked onmodelling interacting molecular motors walking along microtubules at Rice University. His undergrad thesis focused on exploring a quasi-classical model to couple electronic states to nuclear coordinates of various atomic systems. After graduating, Daniel worked in financial technology for 9 months. He then started a DPhil in Materials Science, as part of the Fusion Centre for Doctoral Training at the University of Oxford. The project was on 3D discrete dislocation dynamics modelling where he worked on HPC on Graphics Processing Units, RSE, MM, as well as explaining emergent phenomena observed in tensile tests. During his PhD, Daniel contributed the ISO_Fortran_binding header and implementation files to GCC, for Fortran-C interoperability.
