In this episode Lewis cohosts with PhD student Wunmi Olukoya and they discuss how and why we produce material samples with Dr. Yunus Azakli and Dr. Will Pulfrey from the Royce team at the University of Sheffield.

Wunmi is a researcher from the AMSCDT investigating the interaction between silver and lead-free solders in order to develop new solder alloys.

Yunus is the Engineering Lead in Materials Discovery & Prototyping, primarily based at the Royce Discovery Centre at the University of Sheffield's city centre campus. He is mainly focussed on advanced metal processing via melting, casting and thermomechanical treatments.

Will is the Engineering Lead in Thermomechanical Processing and also based at the RDC. He's responsible for the rolling mills and Conform rigs. His videos of hot rolling various alloys are big hits on LinkedIn.
