Grant FREng, Patrick - University of Oxford

个人简介

I received a B.Eng in Metallurgy and Materials Science from Nottingham University in 1987 and a D.Phil in Materials from Oxford University in 1991. After holding a Royal Society University Research Fellowship and then Lectureship in the Department of Materials, Oxford University, I became Vesuvius [1] Professor of Materials in 2004. I am a Chartered Engineer (C.Eng), a Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (FIMMM), and I was elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2010. From 1999 to 2004, I was Director of the Oxford Centre for Advanced Materials and Composites (OCAMAC) that helps to coordinate industrial materials related research across Oxford University, and was Director of the TSB-funded Faraday Advance transport network for materials from 2000 until 2007, and Executive Director of the Transport Node of the Materials KTN until 2014. I was one of the founding academics of the Begbroke Science Park at Oxford University, now a major regional and international hub for innovation and close industrial-university collaboration. I was Deputy Head of the Maths, Physical and Life Sciences Division at Oxford University 2012-14, and I became Head of Materials in October 2015. I was a member of 2008 Research Assessment Exercise panel for Metallurgy and Materials and a member of the UK Fusion Advisory Board 2007-12. I wrote evidence paper New and Advanced Materials for the UK Government Office of Science Foresight Report Future of Manufacturing (2013). I advise the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council through the Strategic Advisor Network. I am a member of the Rolls-Royce Materials, Manufacture and Structures Advisory Board and the Constellium Scientific Council; I am a non-executive director of Oxford University Innovation Ltd, the University's technology transfer company.

研究领域

My research takes place at the interface between advanced materials and manufacturing, and concerns a wide range of structural and functional materials. Current applications include structured porous electrodes for supercapacitors and batteries, 3D printed materials with spatially varying electromagnetic properties for microwave devices, and advanced metallics for power generation. Recent work has also concerned X-ray imaging of microstructural evolution, especially of solidifying alloys. The research uses variants of manufacturing techniques used in industry such as vacuum plasma spraying and field assisted sintering alongside in-house developed novel processes such as spray deposition of multi-suspensions and 3D printing of dielectric materials. We make extensive use of numerical modelling for device design, to provide insights into underlying processs physics, and to understand how heat and mass flows relate to the final microstructure. All the research work involves close collaboration with industry and other universities across the UK and the world.
