Peter is Professor of Materials Science at University College London and holds the Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in the Emerging Technology of Additive Manufacturing. He is an expert in characterising microstructural evolution during manufacturing using in-situ synchrotron imaging.
He uses these results to inform Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) models to predict processing-structure-property relationships, based on more than 30 years experience at Alcan, Imperial, Harwell, and now University College London. He has published more than 300 journal papers and is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining and the Institute of Cast Metals Engineers. Peter leads the X1 research theme in MAPP – ‘In-situ Process Monitoring.
