Professor Peter Lee FREng

Professor of Materials Science, University College London

Peter Lee is pre-eminent in the fields of solidification and x-ray imaging. Further, he has developed nano-precision rigs that simulate manufacturing or in-service conditions on a synchrotron beamline, enabling us to see inside materials in 3D as they change in time. His work is revealing how microstructures evolve in alloys, bioactive-glasses and geological systems.

He is highly sought-after by industry for his expertise, and his open-source codes and models have been exploited internationally by aerospace, automotive, energy and biomedical companies to solve important engineering challenges - from developing additive manufactured human joint replacements to light-weight automotive components.
