Dr Stella Pedrazzini studied for an MEng in Materials Science at Trinity College, Oxford between 2006 -2010. Her research project focussed on nano-quasicrystalline Al-matrix composites for high temperature applications, a topic which she continued to work on during her DPhil, also at Oxford, between 2010-2014. For the following 3 years she remained at Oxford as a post-doc in the atom probe tomography (APT) group, splitting her time between 2 projects: (1) an atom probe study of radiation damage in perovskite superconductors for fusion applications and (2) environmental degradation in nickel superalloys exposed to corrosive and oxidising compounds.
