ProfessorCatherine Bishop

Professor Bishop is a materials scientist who collaborates internationally and across many areas of materials research. Her research bridges thermodynamics, phase transformations, characterisation, structure-property relations and microstructural evolution in alloys and ceramics. Her main expertise is in theoretical and computational materials. Her group primarily uses variational approaches to materials modelling, phase-field/diffuse interface modelling, prediction and analysis of microstructural evolution and computational thermodynamics (CALPHAD) to develop understanding of metallic and ceramic materials.
