Zachary Aitken is currently a Senior Scientist at A*STAR’s Institute of High Performance Computing. He obtained his PhD from The California Institute of Technology in 2015 specialising in mechanical experiments on nanoscale metals. Upon joining IHPC, he has focused on complex alloy systems including metallic glasses and high entropy alloys and developed novel interatomic potentials for metallic alloy systems. Most recently he has contributed to efforts in applying computational techniques to accelerate novel materials development and collaborating with A*STAR colleagues at IMRE to design additively manufacturable alloys.
