Professor David Dye (Engineering Alloys, Department of Materials – Imperial College London) inaugural lecture
David Dye is a Professor of Metallurgy in the Department of Materials at Imperial College London, UK. He mostly works on the fatigue mechanisms, micromechanics and design of titanium and nickel/cobalt superalloys, with additional interests in twinning induced plasticity steels, zirconium and in superelastic NiTi-based alloys. Primarily, he collaborates with Rolls-Royce plc and across the aerospace and nuclear sectors.
Prior to moving to Imperial in 2003, he worked at the neutron spectroscopy facility in Chalk River, Canada. His undergraduate degree and PhD were from Cambridge University, on the weldability of nickel-base superalloys. He has received a number of awards for his work on welding of superalloys and on titanium alloys, has published over 80 journal articles and was an EPSRC Leadership Fellow, 2010-15.
