Rate My Professor Graeme Murch

Murch's research centers on computational modeling of mass and thermal transport phenomena in engineering materials, particularly using Monte Carlo simulations, molecular dynamics, and analytical methods to investigate diffusion processes, tracer and chemical diffusion coefficients, thermotransport, interdiffusion in high-entropy alloys, ionic conductivity, and mechanical properties of advanced metallic foams. He has authored or co-authored over 550 publications, accumulating more than 8,500 citations. Key publications include 'Diffusion Correlation Effects in Nonstoichiometric Solids' (Philosophical Magazine, 1973, with H.J. DeBruin), 'A Monte Carlo Analysis of Diffusion and Thermodynamics in UO2+x' (Philosophical Magazine, 1975), 'History and People of Solid-State Diffusion – An Overview' (Defect and Diffusion Forum, 2021), and recent works such as 'The impact of non-equilibrium vacancies on mobilities and Kirkendall porosity formation in diffusion couples' (2025) and 'Novel General Solution for the Analysis of a Multicomponent Interdiffusion Couple' (2022). His research has attracted substantial funding, including ARC Discovery Projects of $309,000 for mass transport in high-entropy alloys and $325,000 with collaborators Professor Irina Belova, Professor Andreas Meyer, and Professor Zi-Kui Liu. Murch has delivered keynote lectures at international conferences on diffusion in solids and liquids and co-chaired events, significantly influencing the field of solid-state diffusion modeling.
