Our Team

Massey Professor of Physics, and former Head of UCL’s Department of Physics & Astronomy (04-11), Jonathan is the leader of a large and successful research team Theoretical Atomic and Molecular Physics and Astrophysics research group (TAMPA)  studying a wide range of problems in the physics of molecules, which currently contains about 25 people. He is the author of over 500 papers in scientific literature as well as a number of popular articles and books. Jonathan has developed methods for studying electron molecule collisions for over twenty years. His group also studies the way molecules absorb and emit light with particular emphasis on processes important for astrophysics and the Earth’s atmosphere.

Scott joined Quantemol in November 2024 as R&D Project Manager and was promoted to Chief Operating Officer in March 2025. He is responsible for operational management, team leadership, and strategy implementation. Scott also serves as a key interface between external stakeholders and internal scientific research teams. He earned his PhD from the University of Reading, focusing his thesis on quantum chemical simulations of materials. Prior to this role, Scott worked at Cresset Biomolecular Discovery as a Postdoctoral Scientist and Computational Chemistry Developer, where he gained extensive experience across various aspects of scientific software development and consultancy.

Greg Armstrong is a theoretical atomic and molecular physicist who joined Quantemol as a Scientific Consultant in March 2023. He obtained his PhD at Queen’s University Belfast in 2011, working on laser-driven double ionization dynamics. He subsequently held postdoctoral positions at Los Alamos National Laboratory and Kansas State University before returning to Queen’s University in 2017. His main areas of expertise are attosecond photoionization and photodissociation, atomic structure, and electron collision processes. His recent research has focused on enabling time-dependent R-matrix codes to describe double photoionization, as well as ionization driven by arbitrarily-polarized laser fields. He now works on the development and application of the Quantemol Electron Collisions software.

Arsad Quraishi received MS (by Research) from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India in 2017 and Ph.D. from Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in 2021, both in aerospace engineering. Further, he worked as a research fellow in astronautics group, University of Southampton, UK. His research activities are focused on numerical and experimental investigations of plasma devices and development of miniaturized space propulsion thrusters. He has extensive expertise in investigating the physics of RF plasma discharge and propulsion systems as well as in numerical modelling. He is working as a scientific programmer and developing plasma modelling software.

Annie Laver joined Quantemol in April 2025 as the Scientific Communications Administrator. Possessing a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry and a Minor in English from the University of Otago, New Zealand, she brings a strong mix of science and communication skills. Her prior experience includes roles as a laboratory technician, followed by account management and event operations after relocating to the UK. At Quantemol, Annie is responsible for marketing, project coordination, administration, and customer engagement.
