Professor Stephen G.R. Brown is a materials scientist and head of the Materials Research Centre at Swansea University
Brown is a specialist in computational materials, and has over 20 years of experience[1] with writing code in finite element, finite difference, cellular automata, Monte Carlo and data analysis techniques. He has had numerous research collaborations with industry including relationships with Rolls-Royce and Airbus. In 2010 he took over the role as the head of the Materials Research Centre, which was previously held buy Professor Valerie Randle.
