About Us

The Structural Materials Group is dedicated to the fundamental understanding and industrial application of high-performance structural materials. The group is led by four members of academic staff: Professor Howard Stone, Professor Nick Jones, Dr David Collins, and Dr Nicole Church. 

Collectively we seek to:

• Deliver fundamental research into structural materials for high-performance applications.
• Train the next generation of materials scientists and metallurgical engineers.
• Collaborate with academia and industry to translate materials innovation into practice. 

If you are interested in structural materials research we welcome you to connect and explore how our group can link to your needs.
