Dr Daniel Balint
Co-Investigator
Co-Lead (Modelling) of Key Challenge 2
Daniel Balint completed his Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences at Harvard University (2003). Following this, he was a research associate at the Cambridge Centre for Micromechanics, before joining the faculty at Imperial college in 2006.
Daniel has expertise particularly in the micromechanics of crystalline materials, dislocation and defect modelling, multilayer thin film evolution, fracture and failure (e.g. thermal barrier coatings), and in developing novel metal forming methods. His training was in theoretical solid mechanics, with emphasis on thin films and fracture mechanics.
