Hannah completed her MSci in Natural Sciences at Newnham College, Cambridge in 2019. Her Masters project involved developing a micropillar compression method for MAX Phases with Digital Image Correlation, which inspired her to continue working on the micromechanical aspects of materials.

Her DPhil project, joint with the Atom Probe Group, investigates T91 steel – a promising candidate material for high-dose structural components in both fusion and fission nuclear reactors. Combining the 3D atomic-scale microscopy provided by atom probe tomography with micro-mechanical testing, her project will systematically investigate the effects of irradiation exposure in a set of T91 steel samples from the BOR60 fast reactor in Russia in order to better predict safe operating lifetimes of T91 components. She will also be investigating the use of dual ion beam irradiation as a surrogate for neutrons to facilitate a wider range of dose and temperature effects in this material.

Hannah's supervisors are Dr Anna Kareer from the OMG and MFFP Groups, and Prof Michael Moody and Dr Paul Bagot from the APT Group. Her research is being undertaken in collaboration with partners at the UKAEA, University of Michigan and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
