Peter Grout

Peter Julio Grout is a theoretical chemist at the University of Oxford. His main interests lie in the fields of defects in solids, the computer simulation of interfaces, and lattice dynamics of molecular crystals.

Grout is a reader in physical and theoretical chemistry at the University College, Oxford.

He leads the "Grout Group" of the Physical and Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory, Oxford. Grout teaches first-year Mathematics for Chemistry of the Oxford Undergraduate Course, as well as the second-year Quantum Mechanics Supplementary course.

Grout attended Varndean Boy's School (now Varndean College) in Brighton, leaving in 1956.
