Dr Owen joins the Department of Materials Science and Engineering as a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellow and Lecturer in Metallurgy, having previously been a Research Fellow at Gonville & Caius College, The University of Cambridge.
The Fellowship will fund Dr Owen's research which uses total scattering analytical techniques to gain an understanding of the local atomic structure of novel chemically complex materials and how this structure relates to the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of these materials. This will help in the development of new materials which have the capability of operating in more challenging environments such as nuclear fusion reactors or high temperature jet engines.
The RAEng awards Research Fellowships annually to outstanding early-career researchers to support them to become the future research leaders in engineering. This year represents 20 years of the RAEng Research Fellowship scheme.
