Research
There are more than a dozen active research projects in the group, focusing on:
1. Seeing into the heart of additive manufacturing (AM) using synchrotron x-ray imaging and diffraction coupled to optical, IR and other modalities.Â
2. Collaborating with European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) to develop Hierarchical Phase-Contrast Tomography (HiP-CT), a multi-scale x-ray tomography technique that can resolve structures at the micron level within whole organs.Â
Our projects are supported by a variety of funders including UK Research and Innovation, Royal Academy of Engineering, European Commision, Office of Naval Research, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and industry (e.g. Rolls-Royce plc, Ford Motor Company, Renishaw plc, European Space Agency, Carpenter Additive).
