Research Project: In-service Catastrophic Failure: or Controlling the Grain Boundary Network Evolution
Supervisor: Professor Finn Giuliani (ICL)

Harry is studying in the CASC group, working on enhancing the physical properties of cemented carbide by analysing how the grain boundary network evolves during failure. His interest in the study materials began with a work experience placement at the Randall Centre of Cell and Molecular Biophysics during secondary school, and he went on to complete an MSci at the University of Bristol in Physics. During his MSci , he completed a Bsc project in the effects of lattice spacing on the iridescence of butterfly wings and an MSc project in the microstructural causes of the optical banding on Damascus steel.

Being part of the CDT-ACM was an all-round fantastic experience; I not only received great training in a range of advanced characterisation techniques, but I also made strong links with industry and strong bonds with my cohort which have both led to fruitful collaborations.
