Lindsay Greer

Lindsay Greer is Professor of Materials Science at the University of Cambridge's Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy, specializing in microstructural transformations and their applications in advanced material design.

Her research spans five core domains:

• Metallic Glasses: Mechanical properties, plastic flow mechanisms, and elastic energy storage in cm-scale metallic glasses
• Phase Nucleation: Quantitative prediction of nucleation kinetics for industrial casting and biological ice control systems
• Chalcogenides: Ultrafast crystallization kinetics for phase-change memory and neuromorphic computing applications
• Alloy Solidification: Grain refinement techniques for light alloys (Al, Mg, Zn) to optimize microstructure
• Microstructural Kinetics: In-situ TEM and calorimetry studies of transformation sequences in metallic systems

She leads the department's Microstructural Kinetics Group, driving research in Amorphous Materials, Phase Transformations, and Semiconducting Quantum Materials through advanced experimental methodologies.
