Cameron Crabb completed his undergraduate degree in Physics with Astrophysics at the University of Bath, followed by a Master’s in Nuclear Science and Engineering at the University of Bristol. He is currently pursuing a PhD at Imperial College London under the supervision of Professor David Dye and Dr Shelly Conroy, in a project co-funded by Rolls-Royce.
His research, titled “Taking Novel Wrought Polycrystalline Co/Ni-Based Superalloys into Service”, aims to develop and qualify a new generation of high-performance superalloys for use in static components in jet engines. The project involves both process development and a detailed investigation into the degradation mechanisms that may limit long-term service performance. By understanding how these alloys behave under realistic operating conditions, the work seeks to bridge the gap between alloy design and industrial application.
Cameron’s research combines a range of advanced characterisation techniques to uncover the underlying mechanisms controlling oxidation, microstructural stability, and long-term durability. These include 4D scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM), electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), and atom probe tomography (APT), enabling a highly resolved view of the alloy’s behaviour at the nanoscale.
