Patrick Burr is an Associate Professor specializing in computational materials with a focus on fission and fusion applications. He obtained his PhD in 2015 from Imperial College London and holds an MEng (Hons) in Material Science from the same institution. His research aims to discover the degradation mechanisms of materials used in energy applications, particularly under extreme conditions relevant to nuclear materials. His work addresses the challenges faced by materials in fission and fusion environments and is directed towards enhancing the resilience of materials against degradation processes. Patrick's expertise encompasses material science, degradation of materials (corrosion, irradiation, high temperature), and the design of advanced materials for various applications including solar photovoltaic materials and nuclear fuel cycles. He actively explores the integration of knowledge from nuclear materials into the development of new technologies such as solid electrolyte fuel cells and electrochemical capacitors. Patrick has been involved in several major research projects funded by the Australian Research Council and other organizations, focusing on advanced materials for fusion energy and the nuclear fuel cycle.
