My work is centered around developing mechanical testing techniques at the nano and micro scale. We have a state of the art high temperature nanoindentation system which allows us to perform tests upto temperature above 1000K. These techniques are being used to study a range of important materials for both fission and fusion power including refractory alloys, high strength steels and zirconium alloys. This is carried out with a range of partners including, UKAEA, General Atomics, USA, Rolls Royce, Karlsruhe Institue of Technology, Germany and the University of Leoben, Austria, as well as many collaborators within Oxford. Particular areas of current research include: Materials for nuclear fission and fusion Development of micromechanical testing techniques Fundamentals of fracture High temperature mechanical properties Time dependent deformation Ceramic composite materials
