Hazel Assender

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hazel Assender CPhys is Professor of Materials Science in the Department of Materials at Oxford University . She is an expert in the fields of polymer chemistry , printed electronics and nanomaterials . Assender is a Fellow at Linacre College, Oxford .

Life

Assender studied on a science tripo at Cambridge University, where she graduated in 1990. In the same year she began her doctoral studies at the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy at Cambridge University, where she completed her doctoral thesis on “Magnetically induced microstructures in liquid crystalline polymers” in 1994.

Research and career

After two years as a post-doctoral researcher, Assender joined the Department of Materials at Oxford University in 1996, specializing in thin-film coatings on and with polymer materials. In the course of her work at Oxford, she gained experience in roll-to-roll deposition, gas barriers, photovoltaics and polymer-based electronics (including transistors and circuits). She has been working 80% full-time since the birth of her second child.

In 2001, Assender co-edited the book Aerospace Materials with Brian Cantor and Partrick Grant. In 2015 - in a speech at the "Worshipful Company of Armourers and Brasiers Company Forum" at Cambridge University (a highlight of the materials science year in Great Britain) - she emphasized the importance of roll-to-roll vacuum processing for the production of multilayer polymer-based electrical foils.

Assender is a member of the Center for Doctoral Teaching at the Center for Plastic Electronics, where she works with colleagues from Oxford and Imperial and Queen Mary Universities in London. Assender's inspiration comes from challenges with concrete industrial applications. As a member of the Consortium for Wearable and Flexible Technologies "Wearable and Flexible Technologies" (WAFT), together with colleagues from the universities of Oxford, Southampton and Exeter , she is investigating the possibilities of developing improved wearables using roll-to-roll processes .
