Research :
The materials science and engineering of structural materials, particularly those for high temperature application
The design, structure & constitution, mechanical behaviour and processing of these materials and components made from them, and also the inter-relationship between these topics
Emphasis on the numerical analysis of these phenomena using both purpose-built software and commercial codes
Validation of numerical models using targetted experimentation using novel techniques
Microstructural instabilities in these systems as a consequence of phase transformations and damage accumulation, both during service and during processing
