Matthew's research examined the microstructural evolution that might be expected in tungsten in the extreme service conditions presented by a fusion power plant. This meant looking at the structural defects generated from collapse of cascades, and their subsequent annealing. But importantly under the 14 MeV neutron exposure tungsten can transmutate so that alloying with Rhenium and Osmium needs to be considered too. Matt used atom probe tomography to look at microstructure in these systems at the finest lengthscale.
Matt left the UK to take up a Research Fellowship post in nuclear materials at the Singapore University of Technology and Design.
