Maider Olasolo

Dr. Maider Olasolo serves as an Experimental Officer at the Advanced Materials Research Laboratory within the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Strathclyde. Her expertise focuses on metallic materials' microstructural analysis, phase transformations, and mechanical property relationships. She employs advanced techniques such as SEM, EDS, EBSD, and thermomechanical testing.

Education: She holds a Doctor of Science from the University of Navarra (2011), specializing in phase transformations in niobium-microalloyed low carbon steels.

Research Interests: Her work centers on microstructure evolution under deformation and heat treatment, precipitation hardening, and thermal/mechanical property correlations in steels. She investigates tribocorrosive sliding effects, silicon dissolution in steel microalloying, and multi-step heat treatments' impact on steel properties.

Publications: Her research spans 6+ peer-reviewed articles (2010–2021), emphasizing steel microstructure analysis, phase transformation dynamics, and material processing techniques. Recent work includes tribocorrosive sliding studies and silicon's role in steel microalloying.

Grants and Advising: No student advisees or grant details provided in the text.
