Prof Susie Speller

Susie's research focusses on understanding relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of a wide variety of superconducting materials. A major part of her current research activity involves working closely with local industrial partners to address materials challenges in the superconducting magnet industry, such as superconducting joints.  She currently holds an EPSRC Open Fellowship studying radiation damage in high temperature superconductors for fusion applications, in collaboration with UKAEA, Tokamak Energy and Diamond Light Source.  In addition, she specialises in the processing and characterisation of thin films, and has a new research interest in novel superconducting materials for quantum device applications.   Susie has recently published a new book - A Materials Science Guide to Superconductors: and how to make them super - which introduces superconductors and materials science to a general audience.
