I’m Kit Joll, a final-year PhD candidate in the Condensed Matter & Materials Physics Department at University College London. My work sits at the intersection of quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, molecular dynamics and machine learning, with a particular focus on how electric fields influence liquid-phase systems of electrochemical importance.
My flagship project—Perturbed Neural Network Potential Molecular Dynamics (PNNP-MD)—enables accurate finite-field simulations up to ~0.2 V/Å. This methodology, which I introduced in a 2024 Nature Communications paper, opens new avenues for modeling electrolytes and interfacial phenomena under realistic operating conditions.

When I’m not coding or running simulations, you’ll find me experimenting in the kitchen, doing some gentle exercise, or roaming the great outdoors—always on the hunt for new recipes, trails and adventures.
