Biography
Matthew graduated with a Master of Engineering (MEng) in Mechanical Engineering from Imperial College London in 2025. During his time at Imperial, he was named on the Dean's List and awarded the Mechanical Engineering Prize for Outstanding Academic Performance in the Solid Mechanics Stream, recognising him as the top student studying Fracture Mechanics and Stress Analysis.
In 2025, Matthew began his Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering Science, focusing on irradiation creep of nuclear graphite. His research is conducted within the Solid Mechanics and Materials Group under the supervision of Prof. Dong (Lilly) Liu and Prof. David Armstrong.
Research Interests
- Radiation Damage in Materials
- Materials Characterisation
- Advanced Imaging Techniques
Current research projects
Aiming to optimise irradiation creep models for reactor graphite by analysing high-dose experimental data from ACCENT, AGC, and ATR-2E, using advanced imaging and AI-assisted tomography to link microstructural changes with creep mechanisms across a range of temperatures and stress conditions.
