个人简介

I completed a Bachelor of Metallurgy (Hons 1) from the University of Newcastle in 1984 in conjunction with six years in industry as a trainee Metallurgist. I then completed a PhD in Metallurgy under an AINSE studentship which saw me spend 3 months each year conducting experiments at the HIFAR nuclear reactor at ANSTO in Sydney. I went on to take up a National Research Fellowship also based at ANSTO (1988-90) studying phase transitions and synthesis methods in zirconia ceramics. There followed a senior research fellowship at Griffith University in Queensland (1990-93) working on metals for hydrogen storage which has recently become very topical. In mid 1993 I returned to Newcastle to take up a position as a lecturer, senior lecturer (1997), Associate Professor (2001) and Professor (2007 - ). I have researach experience ranging from process and physical Metallurgy (BHP Newcastle and Dept Metallurgy U of Ncle) through metal hydrides and intermetallic compounds to advanced ceramics (Zirconia, piezoelectrics and MAX phases). I have used such diverse research tools as thermal analysis, electron microscopy and diffraction, and scanning tunneling and atomic force microscopy. My particular expertise is in the application of in-situ neutron and X-ray diffraction experiments to study materials during simulated service or during their synthesis. This has included metals and advanced ceramics under large stresses, extremes of temperature (4-2600K), in hydrogen atmospheres or electric field. My work has received over 1300 citations, has H-index 21 and is cited an average of more than 16 times per paper in the international journal literature including self-citations (ISI Web of Science) . I am a former Assistant Dean of Postgraduate Studies in the Faculty of Engineering and have served on the Universitys Research Higher Degrees Committee. I am currently the Student Academic Conduct Officer for the School of Engineering. In addition, I have contributed to policy development, management and review of the Universitys central research facilities (Electron Microscope Centre and X-ray Centre) for more than 10 years. My professional associations include Fellow - Institute of Physics (London), Vice-President ANBUG and ordinary member - Australian Institute of Physics and Society of Crystallography in Australia. I lead a research team currently comprising 1 Senior Fellow, 1 technical officer, 6 PhD students and on average 5 honours students. The group has an average annual research budget of $300,000 as well as a very high success rate in gaining peer reviewed access to major international neutron scattering facilities (ILL France, ISIS UK and OPAL Australia).

研究领域

Mechanical Engineering

My primary research field is the link between the crystal structures of materials and their physical, mechanical and electrical properties. I use advanced neutron and X-ray diffraction techniques to probe the details of crystal structure and microstructure in existing and emerging engineering materials. Experiments are conducted at the world's leading neutron sources (ILL in France and ISIS in the UK) as well as the national neutron source OPAL being commissioned at ANSTO in Sydney. My particular thrust has been to study materials in the state in which they are used in engineering practice. This includes studying highly strained and multi-phase materials in environments that either simulate real service conditions or during their actual synthesis from raw materials. This has included working at temperatures in the range -269 to 2400 Celsius, pressures up to 2.3 GPa, electric field up to 100 kV/cm and a range of high pressure gasses. These in-situ experiments give unprecedented insight into the workings of Engineering materials as well as their formation and inter-conversion. For example, my group and I have conducted the only neutron diffraction experiments in the world on combustion synthesis - the rapid conversion of raw materials into engineering materials using the chemical reaction energy as the primary heat source. These experiments on the most rapidly reacting system ever studied with neutron diffraction, have revealed a complex reaction mechanism not observable in any other way. The work has led to more than 75 refereed journal papers, several plenary lectures and over 40 contributed conference papers and presentations. My work has received over 1100 citations (H-index 18) in the international journal literature. A Materials Science background combined with extensive experience of advanced neutron diffraction techniques, has allowed me to make a contribution to knowledge in several classes of material. I have primarily worked in the following fields: i) Zirconia ceramics (1 edited book, 16 journal and 5 refereed conference papers) ii) Metal hydrides (18 journal and 1 refereed conference paper) iii) Neutron diffraction studies of materials (1 co-authored book due early 2007, 1 review paper, 59 journal papers including those above & below, and 7 refereed conference papers) iv) Ferroelectric and piezoelectric ceramics (9 journal papers) v) MAX phases (e.g. Ti3SiC2) synthesis (16 journal papers, 2 refereed conference papers, 5 invited and plenary lectures)
