Simon Hogg FIMMM

Reader in Metallurgy, Materials Department at Loughborough University

Simon is a Fellow of the IOM3 and a Reader in Metallurgy in the Materials Department at Loughborough University.  He obtained his PhD from The University of Sheffield, Department of Engineering Materials. He held a postdoctoral appointment at Oxford University working on Al-Li alloys for airframe applications. His research is centred on the use of advanced processing and characterisation techniques to understand microstructural development and properties in complex, novel alloys. Presently, the focus of research includes sustainable metallurgy, use of x-ray imaging to understand solidification, and microstructure and texture development in industrially processed light alloys. As well as holding a Strategic Advisor position, he is a member of the leadership team for the IOM3 Nonferrous and Light Metals Group and Past President and current Treasurer for the East Midlands Materials Society.
