Megan Carter

As a PhD student at the Department of Materials, University of Oxford, Megan's research interests currently centre on the use of Atom Probe Tomography (APT) to investigate the effects of irradiation on steels produced via novel manufacturing processes. This involves studies using both ion and neutron irradiation. The project is part of a wider collaboration with the University of Manchester, Imperial College, National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) and Rolls Royce, and is funded by an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) grant. 

Megan completed her undergraduate degree in Materials Science (MEng) at the University of Oxford, which included an 8-month research project investigating the aluminium alloys for automotive applications. This project also focused on the use of APT, and it was the opportunity to remain involved in the use of such a powerful technique that prompted Megan's choice to undertake a PhD in the Atom Probe Group.
