Personal profile

Biography

Fabio Scenini is a professor in materials performance with a rich academic and research background. He earned his Mechanical Engineering degree from Politecnico di Milano, an MSc in Corrosion from UMIST, and a Ph.D. from the University of Manchester. Promoted to senior lecturer in 2017, reader in 2020, and now a professor, his research focuses on materials performance and corrosion, particularly on issues related to the manufacture, operation, and maintenance of materials under extreme conditions such as those in nuclear power plants. His current research interests include material performance issues such as corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, fatigue and fracture, and hydrogen embrittlement, particularly of the stainless steels and nickel-base alloys, both conventionally and additively manufactured, employed in nuclear power plants and the aerospace industry. 

Prof. Scenini has developed high-pressure, high-temperature testing capabilities at the Royce Institute, the UK national institute for advanced materials research and innovation, for the nuclear industry and beyond. He has extensively collaborated with industry partners and has authored over 120 papers and conference proceedings. In 2024 he was appointed Research Area Lead for Materials Systems for Demanding Environments at the Royce Institute.
