Dr. Gwénaëlle Proust is a Professor of Materials Engineering at the School of Civil Engineering, University of Sydney, and holds the position of Academic Director at the Sydney Manufacturing Hub. Her research is dedicated to investigating the relationships between the properties of materials and their microstructure to enhance material performance. This enhancement could lead to energy saving and the development of safer, more effective devices. Her research spans the experimental investigation and modelling of material manufacturing processes. Additionally, she examines how mechanical deformation influences the evolution of metal microstructures and comprehends the impact of complex loading on the mechanical behavior of materials. The practical side of her work involves using manufacturing methods like additive manufacturing and characterization techniques including optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction. To date, she has published over 100 papers and has obtained funding through the Australian Research Council Linkage and Discovery programmes.
