Professor Aron Walsh is a Professor and Chair in Materials Design in the Department of Materials at Imperial College London, where he leads the Materials Design Group. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC). Walsh received his BSc and PhD in chemistry from Trinity College Dublin. His postdoctoral positions included a Marie Curie Fellowship at University College London and a fellowship at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in the United States. He began his independent academic career as a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Bath, where he later became a professor before joining Imperial College London.
Walsh’s research focuses on computational chemistry and materials science, integrating quantum mechanics with data-driven machine learning and multi-scale modelling approaches for the design and discovery of materials, particularly for energy applications such as perovskite solar cells and thermoelectrics. He has authored or co-authored over 500 research articles. Walsh serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of the American Chemical Society. His awards and honours include the Harrison-Meldola Memorial Prize (2013), the EU-40 Materials Prize (2015), the Chem Soc Rev Emerging Investigator Lectureship (2015), the Philip Leverhulme Prize in Chemistry (2016), and the Corday-Morgan Prize (2019).
