Dr. Enrique Jimenez-Melero Senior Lecturer in Radiation Materials Science Materials Performance Centre Department of Materials University of Manchester Oxford Road Manchester M13 9PL Email: enrique.jimenez-melero@manchester.ac.uk Tel: +44 (0) 161 306 8590
Enrique's research focuses on understanding and predicting the phase stability, micromechanics, work hardenability, and radiation tolerance of complex (ultra-) high-strength steels and refractory alloys for structural applications in nuclear fission & fusion power plants, and also in the automotive and aerospace industries. His group performs real-time synchrotron X-ray power diffraction under mechanical stresses and elevated temperatures, and also single crystal 3-D X-ray diffraction (3DXRD) experiments on polycrystalline materials. This synchrotron-based work is complemented with analytical electron microscopy, neutron scattering and positron annihilation spectroscopy. Their specific research on nuclear materials revolves around understanding the radiation-induced microstructural damage and its impact on the structural integrity of reactor components, together with radiation protection and the development of safe systems of work to produce, handle and test radioactive material. |

Dr Gavin Bell Department of Physics University of Warwick Coventry CV4 7AL
Email: gavin.bell@warwick.ac.uk
I work in materials physics and lead the Surface, Interface & Thin Film Group at Warwick. The focus of my research is the growth by molecular beam epitaxy of functional materials, applying the techniques of surface science to understand epitaxial crystal growth. The systems include topological and magnetic materials for spintronics, 2D materials like graphene and boron nitride, and surface-modified photocathode.

Prof Andrea Russell Professor of Physical Electrochemistry School of Chemistry University of Southampton Highfield Southampton SO17 1BJ
Email: a.e.russell@soton.ac.uk My research focuses on electrocatalysis and electrode processes, using a wide range of spectroscopic and structural techniques to characterise electrode materials and the electrode/electrolyte interface. My group and I have made use of synchrotron sources throughout Europe and the USA.
As a member of the DUC, I am particularly interested in hearing from users regarding the development of facilities, sample environments, equipment, and data analysis codes. In my view the DUC should be the voice of the user community in helping to direct resources in collaboration with the science teams at Diamond. |
