Jay Srisuriyachot

Jay Srisuriyachot is a Research Associate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath, affiliated with the Centre for Integrated Materials, Processes & Structures (IMPS). His research employs synchrotron X-ray diffraction and micro-computed tomography to investigate carbon fiber composites under cryogenic and mechanical loading conditions, with applications in aerospace and hydrogen storage systems.

His primary research interests include composite materials characterization, X-ray diffraction techniques, cryogenic behavior of carbon fiber reinforced polymers, fiber orientation analysis, and failure mechanisms in structural composites. He specializes in advanced synchrotron-based methodologies to resolve microstructural responses during deformation and thermal cycling, particularly focusing on void formation, kink-band development, and thermal expansion anomalies in CFRP systems.

Recent publications reveal a concentrated research trajectory in synchrotron-enabled composite characterization, with dominant themes in cryogenic material behavior (2023-2025), deformation mechanism analysis through combined XRD/μCT techniques, and failure prediction in aerospace-grade composites. His work bridges fundamental materials science with engineering applications in liquid hydrogen storage and propeller-blade design.

Dr. Srisuriyachot serves as Co-Investigator on multiple externally funded projects including Micromechanical analysis of filament wound composite cylinders at cryogenic temperatures (2025-2026), X-ray diffraction of cryogenic carbon fibre composites for liquid hydrogen storage (2025-2026), and Understanding failure mechanisms of fibrous plaster elements in historic ceilings (2023-present), demonstrating sustained grant capture in advanced materials characterization.

He operates within the IMPS research centre at Bath, leveraging state-of-the-art facilities for synchrotron diffraction, micro-tomography, and mechanical testing, while maintaining active collaborations with Diamond Light Source and international research teams.
