Congratulations to Angus Coyne-Grell who was awarded third place in the finals of the UK Young Persons Lecture Competition organised by the Institute of Materials Minerals and Mining.
The competition invites students and early‑career professionals (aged 18–28) to deliver a 15‑minute lecture on a materials, minerals, mining, packaging or wider engineering topic. Angus' talk was entitled "Shifting Boundaries: Controlling grain structure in nickel-based superalloys without deformation" and described the formation of interphase precipitation in nickel alloys.
Angus was selected to represent Scotland at the UK finals following a Scottish competition held at the University of St Andrews on 25th February. He currently works in the Advanced Forming Research Centre, a specialist centre within the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS)
