Top SchoolAlessandro Mottura is a materials scientist and academic leader with over a decade of experience in high-temperature metallurgy, specializing in single-crystal nickel and cobalt superalloys and multiscale modelling from electronic structure to continuum. As Head of School and Professor of Physical Metallurgy at the University of Birmingham, he has built international research collaborations across the US, UK and EU and published in top journals. His toolkit spans advanced experimental techniques (atom probe tomography, FIB/laser serial sectioning, EXAFS, X-ray microtomography, EBSD) and computational methods (ab initio, Monte Carlo) alongside substantial programming skills in C++, OpenMP, Qt and scripting. He combines hands-on laboratory leadership with software-enabled analysis workflows, a blend that has driven both fundamental insights and practical metallurgical solutions. An understated strength is his sustained commitment to academic service—rising through teaching, admissions and senior management roles while maintaining an active research programme.
