معرفی
Professor Mark Wenman is a Professor in Nuclear Materials at the Department of Materials, Faculty of Engineering, Imperial College London. He leads the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Nuclear Energy Futures and co-directs the Centre for Nuclear Engineering. His research focuses on nuclear engineering materials including fracture mechanisms, hydrogen embrittlement, irradiation damage, and multi-scale modeling of nuclear fuels and structural materials.
His research interests span:
- Micromechanisms of fracture in nuclear materials
- Hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion mechanisms
- Irradiation damage in zirconium alloys and steels
- Multi-scale modeling from atomic to continuum scales
- Nuclear fuel performance and cladding integrity
Professor Wenman's recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on computational materials science approaches to nuclear material degradation, including phase-field modeling of corrosion, discrete dislocation plasticity of hydride formation, and machine learning applications for materials characterization. His work consistently addresses fundamental mechanisms of material degradation in nuclear environments.
He directs multiple research centers and consults for technical advisory groups including TAGSI, Core Materials Working Group, and the Fuels Working Group for the European Jules Horowitz reactor project.
