Joe is studying for a MEng in Nuclear Engineering, his masters project focuses on the capabilities of nano-structured materials as a medium for long term hydrogen storage, focusing mainly on the Ti-Fe and potential ternary additions.
Over the summer of 2020, Joe completed a placement at Culham Centre for Fusion Energy in which he investigated methods to measure sub-critical crack growth in fused silica; with his project work involving a finite element analysis to determine geometries that would accurately predict sub-critical crack growth parameters in a biaxial stress state.
