Alison Sarah Wilson

Alison Sarah Wilson is a materials scientist affiliated with the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge, working within the Faculty of Mathematics. Her research focuses on advanced alloy development, particularly in high-temperature structural materials for aerospace and energy applications.

Research Interests:
Wilson's work centers on alloy composition optimization, phase stability analysis, and microstructural characterization of superalloys, with a focus on topologically close-packed phases, L12 precipitation, and Laves phase engineering. She investigates how alloying elements like niobium and germanium affect microstructure evolution and mechanical properties.

Scientific Contributions

• Published extensively on Ni-based superalloys and Cu-Ni-Al phase transformations
• Develops methodologies for quantifying topologically close-packed phases
• Explores computational predictions versus experimental validation of phase stability
