Michael Moody Director of the new Nuclear Materials Research and Technology Group at ANSTO. The group undertakes research and engineering activities spanning a wide range of materials for nuclear fission energy including fuels, structural materials and waste-forms. To this end the NMRT Group is active in nuclear materials design and development through processing, irradiation, mechanical and microstructural characterisation and modelling. Previously, Michael was Head of the Atom Probe Research Group in the Department of Materials at the University of Oxford. Michael obtained his PhD from the University of South Australia, and subsequently worked as a research associate at the Australian Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis at the University of Sydney. Michael’s research expertise in atomic-scale materials characterisation using the microscopy technique atom probe tomography. During his time in Oxford he led research efforts developing APT techniques to investigate the onset and evolution of irradiation damage, exposure to high temperatures, corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement in a variety of material systems with applications in fission and fusion reactors. He is co-author of the text book, Atom Probe Microscopy.
