Martin Jackson is a Royal Academy of Engineering/EPSRC Research Fellow. The overall aim of the fellowship is to provide a step change in the economics of Ti based alloys through the development of low cost non-melt continuous consolidation routes using particulate feedstock from emerging reduction processes.
Before gaining the award, Dr Jackson spent four years as a Research Associate (including two years as a Research Lecturer) in the department, working on high strain rate superplasticity in Al alloys (EPSRC) and the electrochemical reduction of TiO2 (ONR/DARPA).
Prior to that, he graduated from the University of Sheffield with a first class degree in Materials Science and Engineering. Following a year on the Rolls-Royce graduate training scheme, he undertook research in thermomechanical processing of Ti alloys (EPSRC/QinetiQ) at Imperial College, graduating with a PhD in 2002. He was subsequently awarded the (Titanium Information Group sponsored) Titanium Prize by the IOM3 the following year.
Dr Jackson is a member of the IOM3 Light Metals Division committee.
