Postdoctoral Research Associate
Project title: Modelling of second phase particles (SPPs) evolution in Zr alloys under irradiation
Working across Key Challenge 1
Jing Guo has her first degree in Metal Material Science and Engineering and a PhD in Materials Science.
After working as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship in Liverpool from 2019 to 2021, she shortly worked on aerospace applications as a Project Researcher at University of Derby. Her career has focused on the materials design and characterisation of second phase/precipitates in metal materials. She has worked with different simulation methods from atomic to microstructural scale to investigate the mechanisms related to second phase/precipitates in high-speed steel, high chromium cast iron, refractory high entropy alloys, and more.
Jing joined MIDAS group from 2022, with the main task of further developing the numerical model to predict the evolution of second phase particles (SPPs) in Zr alloys under irradiation. She will also use atomic scale simulation methods such as DFT calculation and molecular dynamics simulation to produce the physical processes of irradiation and thermal damage, then scale-bridging to microstructural models.
