Early life and education

edit

Walsh received his undergraduate degree in computational chemistry and physics from Trinity College Dublin. He went on to complete his PhD in chemistry at the same institution.[2] His postdoctoral research included a Marie Curie Fellowship at University College London and a fellowship at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in the United States.[3]

Academic career

edit

Walsh began his academic career as a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Bath[4], where he went on to become a professor.[5] He holds a full professorship at Imperial College London leading the Materials Design Group.[6]

Walsh's research integrates quantum mechanics with data-driven machine learning and multi-scale modelling approaches.[7] He has written or co-written over 500 research articles.[8] Additionally, he serves as an associate editor for the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS).[9]

Journal of Materials Chemistry in 2017 published the first paper from Walsh's collaboration with a young research group at Kim Il-sung University, in North Korea, funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund.[10]
