Biography
Jasper Threadingham is a DPhil student in the Solid Mechanics and Materials Group within the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. He completed his MEng in the same department in 2021 and began his doctoral research that year. Jasper’s work focuses on the shock response of single crystal tin, conducted under the supervision of Professor Daniel Eakins and Dr. David Chapman, in close collaboration with AWE.
His research aims to characterise the role of crystallographic directionality in low-symmetry metals through bulk-scale measurements of elastic-plastic deformation, solid-solid phase transitions, and dynamic tensile failure under shock loading. Alongside these large-scale observations, he aims to examine the underlying microstructural phenomena to provide insight into the fundamental mechanisms governing anisotropic behaviour in tin under extreme conditions.
