Throughout her career Mia has linked advanced characterisation methods with computational analytical tools to develop more standardised methods for materials characterisation. Prior to this commencing her fellowship, Mia worked as a consultant at Jacobs where she specialised on the high temperature behaviour of materials. Mia completed her PhD at the University of Manchester where she won the IOM3 young person lecture award and represented the UK in the world final.
