Stacy Moore

Dr Stacy Moore is a Lecturer at the School of Physics, University of Bristol, and a member of the Bristol Doctoral College. With a PhD in Materials Science, she specializes in high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) applications for corrosion and nuclear materials research.

Education

• MSci, Physics
• PhD, Materials Science

Research Focus:

• HS-AFM for real-time nanoscale corrosion imaging
• Stress corrosion cracking in stainless steels
• Irradiation and thermal sensitization effects on steel microstructure
• Multi-scale characterization of material failure mechanisms

Notable Publication Trends: Her recent work explores Eurofer 97 degradation under plasma disruptions, HS-AFM integration with fatigue testing systems, and multi-modal approaches to environmentally-assisted cracking. Sub-fields span irradiation effects, magnetic corrosion, and dynamic nanointerface analysis.
