Anvarbek Atayev
Background:
Hello, my name is Anvar and I am PhD student at the University of Warwick. My PhD is being supervised by Dr. Florian Theil and Dr. Thomas Hudson, and I am currently studying the energies of small angle grain boundaries under a fully discrete dislocation model, more specifically the Read-Shockley Law.
