DESCRIPTION:\nDeveloping advanced materials for fusion technologies DTT Sc
 ience Talk \n\nPatrick Burr University of New South Wales\, Sydney\, Aust
 ralia \n\nPatrick Burr is an ARC Industry Fellow and an Associate Profess
 or in Nuclear Engineering at the University of New South Wales\, Sydney. H
 e is also the Deputy Director (Research) of the UNSW Nuclear Innovation Ce
 ntre. He joined UNSW in 2015\, and prior to that obtained his PhD in compu
 tational materials science from Imperial College London. His research focu
 sses on understanding the degradation mechanisms of materials used in dema
 nding energy applications. He achieves this using atomic-scale simulations
 \, often coupled with advanced characterization techniques. In recent year
 s\, he has helped develop materials for fusion energy\, nuclear structural
  materials\, hydrogen-tolerant materials and nuclear fuels. \n\n \n\nABS
 TRACT:\nA key challenge in unlocking commercially-viable fusion technologi
 es\, is the development and qualification of materials that can withstand 
 the challenging environment of a fusion reactor for prolonged service peri
 ods. I will present some advancements that we have made at UNSW on develop
 ing new shielding materials\, understanding the degradation phenomena of f
 usion materials\, and the developing new methods to aid the design of new 
 materials. I will also provide an overview of the fusion research activiti
 es at the UNSW Nuclear Innovation Centre\, and the broader fusion communit
 y in Australia \n___________________\nAula Brunelli\, Centro Ricerche Ene
