Professor Patrick Grant is the Vesuvius Chair in Materials and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research) at the University of Oxford. His research focuses on advanced materials manufacturing, encompassing a wide range of structural and functional materials. Current activities include the development of structured electrodes for supercapacitors and batteries, 3D printed materials with spatially varying electromagnetic properties for microwave devices, and advanced metallics for power generation. He has recently explored X-ray imaging techniques to study microstructural evolution, particularly in solidifying alloys. His work applies various manufacturing techniques used in the industry, such as vacuum plasma spraying and field-assisted sintering, as well as novel processes like spray deposition and multi-suspension 3D printing of dielectric materials. Professor Grant's research leverages numerical modeling for device design, which provides insights into the underlying process physics and aids in controlling the final properties of materials. He collaborates closely with industry and universities both in the UK and worldwide to advance the field of materials science.
