Patrick Grant FREng is the Vesuvius Professor of Materials and Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research at Oxford University. His research takes place at the interface between advanced materials and manufacturing. Particular applications include electrodes for energy storage and advanced metallics for power generation. Many of his research projects are concerned with solidification behaviour in complex alloys, and/or the use of liquid metal, ceramic or polymer droplet and powder sprays to create unusual materials. All the research work involves close collaboration with industry.
