  • Dr Alex Cassell

    PDRA

    Dr Alex Cassell has worked on several research programmes since completion of a PhD on the environmentally assisted degradation mechanisms in light alloys. Working in the Corrosion and Protection Centre he has expertise on the multi-scale characterisation of high performance aluminium alloys. His research has included the study of hydrogen embrittlement (HE) and stress corrosion mechanisms in light alloys, the...

  • Dr Jinghua Zheng

    PDRA

    Dr Jinghua Zheng completed a PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London,   during which she developed a constrained ageing technique for residual stress reduction in aluminium aircraft components. She also established and validated physically-based constitutive equations and for FE models of residual stress and yield strength distributions in components. Based at Imperial College London, Jinghua’s...

  • Dr Paloma Hidalgo-Manrique

    PDRA

    Dr Paloma Hidalgo-Manrique completed a PhD at the Complutense University of Madrid, focusing  on the processing of fine-grained microstructures by accumulative roll bonding, and how it can be used to produce material that can be superplastically formed more easily. Since then she has worked on the fundamental deformation mechanisms in Mg alloys as part of LATEST2 and project MAGMAN ....
