Advanced structural materials
We focus on improving the microstructure of structural/functional materials down to the nanoscale, generating better mechanical strength and tribology (low friction and reduced wear), and thereby improving product lifetime and energy consumption. Applications include ceramic/metal composites (e.g. bearings, hips, oral implants), additive manufactured components and hierarchical battery electrodes.In-situ/in Operando Materials Characterisation
We are pioneering research into new technologies that enable materials to be tested inside electron/ion microscopes (FIB/SEM/TEM), so that their mechanical and electrical properties can be measured at the same time as they are imaged with detail 1000x better than the human eye. These in-situ/in operando methods (sometimes called ‘4D’ = 3D + time) give us new information on how materials and devices behave, stick together (welding) and fail in the micro-nanoscale dimensions, leading to opportunities for better system design e.g. of electronics and batteries.Advanced Materials Characterisation
We are continually developing materials characterisation techniques to evaluate the 3D structure of materials for a wide range of industrial and environmental applications. We have particular expertise in 3D imaging/tomography (FIB, TEM), nanomechanics (manipulation, nanoindentation), nano-microscale tribology (friction, wear, surface profilometry/interferometry), and advanced electron/ion microscopy (FIB/SEM/TEM). We lead the PicoFIB International Network for development of Gas-Ion Microscopy.Key projects/applications

We interviewed Beverley for the Faculty of Engineering's Wall of Women about how she found herself working in an Engineering discipline. Here's Beverley's interview:
The Wall of Women profiles were taken over a 4/5 year time period and are a snapshot of what our engineers were doing at that time.
