Jennifer Stansby is an Associate Lecturer in Nuclear Engineering at ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ and visiting Research Fellow at the UTSA Extreme Environments Materials Lab. Her research aims to develop and discover new materials that will extend the fuel cycle length in nuclear reactors, improving the prospects of nuclear power. This is achieved by tuning the chemical composition of solid-state materials to optimise their physical properties and then using advanced in situ characterisation methods to evaluate and understand the materials' performance. Jenny transitioned to the field of nuclear during her first Postdoctoral Fellowship at ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ upon graduating with a PhD in Chemistry on energy storage materials from ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ/ANSTO in 2021.
