Royce at the University of Sheffield

In this episode Lewis welcomes student co-hosts; Ben Jolly and Jacob Whittle to talk all things Advanced Manufacturing with expert Dr Felicity Freeman.

Ben and Jacob are both in the third year of their PhD research with the AMSCDT.
Ben is currently researching the local structural behaviours of multi-component alloys via Neutron Total Scattering experiments. Encompassing a number of specialised materials of potential significance to nuclear and aerospace industries. He initially graduated with degree in Physics, studying Materials Science & Engineering seemed a natural progression to his scientific career. When not being driven to insanity by crystal lattices and Python code, he enjoys the seemingly-traditional Sheffield pastime of climbing, and watching the football with endless frustration. His favourite cake is his mum's Chocolate cake.
Jacob's PhD is in collaboration with British Steel, and he is a member of the Rail Innovation and Technology Centre. His research focuses on the sustainability of steel railway infrastructure and how it can be used to support low carbon transport systems worldwide. He is a Doctoral Supervisor of Railway Challenge at Sheffield, Graduate Teaching Assistant in the Faculty of Engineering and Open Day Ambassador in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and is partial to a Carrot Cake. 

Felicity is a lecturer in Mechanical Engineering with a background as a research associate working in additive manufacturing. Her PhD was in the development of magnetically-graded steels and using the Laser Powder-Bed Fusion additive manufacturing process (3D printing). Prior to this she spent 10 years working at Rolls-Royce as a Manufacturing Engineer. When asked to choose, she'd reach for the classic Lemon Drizzle cake.
