Biography
Dr Robin Scales is a researcher within the Solid Mechanics and Materials Engineering Group, under the supervision of Prof Dong (Lilly) Liu. She did her undergraduate, master's, and DPhil degrees in materials science here in Oxford before starting her current position here.
She is currently working on the characterisation of advanced power electronic materials in order to understand their mechanical behaviour and residual stresses in relation to their 3D microstructure.
Her post is an 18-month fixed-term position funded by the EPSRC project "Understanding the interfacial strength, nano-scale 3D structure and residual stresses in advanced power electronic materials (INTERVENE)".
