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.

I really enjoyed my time as a member of the CDT-ACM. It provided the opportunity to gain experience with a wide range of materials characterisation techniques and to engage with the wider research community by participating in conferences and Outreach events.
