RESEARCH

��

Research Contribution

Most significant contributions are in the field of high temperature alloy-gas interactions.�� Particular emphasis is placed on the diffusion and phase transformation processes which support these reactions.�� Current work includes fundamental studies of metal dusting reactions and of water vapour effects on oxidation. The work has led to two books, 6 patents and about 200 international journal papers. It has been recognised by election as chair of a Gordon Research Conference, appointment to ARC Advisory Panel, Engineering and Environmental Sciences (2001-2003), appointed to Board, CRC for Coal in Sustainable Development, and membership of editorial boards: Oxidation of Metals, J. Corrosion Science & Technology, J. Phase Equilibrium, Materials Science Forum, continuous funding from peer reviewed competitive grant schemes since 1979. Total of 49 PhD and Masters students graduated, including 12 since 2000.�� Recent publication of a book “High temperature oxidation and corrosion” (Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2008) provides a summary and review of much of the research on high temperature materials carried out in the School over the past two decades.
