[1] Dye specialises in fatigue and micromechanics of aerospace and nuclear materials, mainly Ni/Co superalloys, titanium, TWIP steel, and Zirconium alloys.
[2] Dye completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in Natural Sciences in 1997 at the University of Cambridge, followed by a PhD on the Mechanical effects of welding superalloys in 2000, supervised by Roger Reed.
[3][4] After graduating from the University of Cambridge, Dye worked for a short period as Junior Associate at Mitchell Madison Group from October 2000 until March 2001, before going back to the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, the University of Cambridge as a postdoctoral research associate also for a very short stint in 2001.
[1] David Dye teaches metallurgy, and his research focuses primarily on the micromechanics, design, and fatigue processes of titanium and nickel/cobalt superalloys, with side interests in zirconium, twinning-induced plasticity steels, and superelastic NiTi-based alloys.
[7][8] Dye runs a Youtube channel,[9] personal blog,[10] and has courses on Coursera[11] to teach metallurgy, mathematics and data analysis, continuum mechanics, and engineering Alloys.
