DARE PhD student to work with leading academic at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Guy Skinner, a PhD student based at Kings College London and a member of the DARE programme, has been offered a summer internship with Professor John Moriarty of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
This opportunity came as a result of personal communication with John Moriarty regarding the Generalised Pseudopotential Theory (GPT) he developed, which enabled Guy to subsequently develop his own mathematical model for use in the DARE research theme “Magnesium Alloys less dependent on Rare Earth additions”.
During his internship Guy will be working with John Moriarty on the creation of novel Mg-Ca, Mg-Li pair potentials using GPT. These will be used to simulate the energetics of defects and interfaces in these alloy systems with DFT-like accuracy.
We look forward to hearing more about Guy’s research activities in the US on his return in the autumn.

On 1 September 2016 the DARE programme held its second Annual Symposium at the University of Sheffield.
The one day event had a mixture of presentations by DARE academic and industry partners plus guest speakers from throughout Europe. The presentations focussed on the challenges academics and industry face when trying to design new alloys with minimum material waste and less dependence on rare earth additions, whilst retaining their strength and resistance to wear and corrosion. The Symposium was well attended by UK and International academic and industry delegates and all agreed that the event provided an interesting mix of high-level talks.
A big thank you to our speakers and delegates who attended the event.
Photos and presentations from the event can be found here.

Following the success of our Inaugural Workshop last year, we are pleased to announce that the DARE Annual Workshop 2016 will again take place in Sheffield on 1 September 2016.
The event will revolve around one of the Programme’s three principle areas of study – the design of resource efficient alloys for manufacture that offer both higher performance and reduced reliance on key elements. Some of the topics to be discussed are shown in the attached flyer and a full programme will be available shortly.
Start and end times are as follows:
Registration & coffee, Turner Museum,
Sir Robert Hadfield Building: 10:00 – 10:30
Poster session and drinks reception: 18:00 – 18:30
