Stella Pedrazzini

Dr. Stella Pedrazzini is a Senior Lecturer in Engineering Alloys and Metallurgy at Imperial College London's Department of Materials, Faculty of Engineering. She is also an EPSRC Early Career Fellow and RAEng Associate Research Fellow. Her research focuses on environmental degradation of engineering alloys, particularly oxidation and hot corrosion of nickel and cobalt-based superalloys, aqueous corrosion of steel, and advanced characterization techniques including transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atom probe tomography (APT).

Her educational background includes a DPhil and MEng from the University of Oxford. She teaches undergraduate courses including the 1st year Origins module (Metals Extraction) and the 3rd year Advanced Engineering Alloys course.

Research interests span multiple disciplines including Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Condensed Matter Physics, Physical Chemistry, Manufacturing Engineering, and Atomic/Molecular Physics. Her work consistently explores high-temperature material behavior, corrosion mechanisms, and novel characterization methods.

Recent publications demonstrate a strong emphasis on nuclear materials, additive manufacturing, corrosion prevention, and advanced microscopy techniques. Common themes include material degradation in extreme environments, alloy development for specialized applications, and innovative approaches to materials characterization.
