Sir Harry Bhadeshia
Affiliation:Queen Mary University London
Technical Title:Professor
Sir Harry Bhadeshia graduated from the University of Cambridge in the UK. He was knighted by the Queen of England for his research on steel and the deployment of highly advanced steel in real life, and his contributions have influenced the world. He is a professor of metallurgy at the University of Cambridge, born in Nairobi, Kenya, and grew up under the inspiration and support of his parents. At the age of 16, Bhadeshia began working as a metallurgical laboratory technician at the UK Oxygen Company, where he was encouraged to continue his education and ultimately obtained a doctoral degree from the University of Cambridge. Bhadeshia studied the controversial topic of bainite transformation and proposed the T-zero curve theory, which led to a breakthrough in steel performance design. Bhadeshia became an influential figure through his papers and book publications, serving as an inspiring mentor for his doctoral students, encouraging them to always delve deeper. Professional associations around the world recognize his achievements, and with the support of the Materials Research Institute, Bhadeshia created his own journal, which led to the success of numerous welding journals. Bhadeshia actively advocates seeking sustainable solutions for steel production and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. In his fifty years of steel research, he also made contributions to the neural network analysis of materials.
Sir Harry Bhadeshia mainly studies the theory of solid-state phase transformation, with a focus on predicting and validating the structural development of complex metal alloys, especially multi-component steels. The theory of the interaction between hydrogen and iron and their compounds. Topics covered: physical and chemical metallurgy, steel, phase transformation, mathematical modeling, alloy design, and material algorithms.
