DESCRIPTION:Can we fly without costing the earth? Trends show that more pe
 ople are flying more\, and for this to be sustainable\, the aerospace indu
 stry must develop cleaner\, quieter planes.  In this talk\, I will show th
 at this challenge rests firmly on the shoulders of the materials science a
 nd engineering community. In order to deliver more efficient aircraft\, cu
 rrent alloys must be optimised and new materials systems must be developed
 . In response\, materials scientists\, physicists and engineers need to de
 velop a deep understanding of many of the complex interactions that occur 
 in commercial alloys. This talk will show how the scientific community is 
 responding to this challenge.\n\nJohn Aveson is currently based in the Rol
 ls-Royce University Technology Centre in the Department of Materials Scien
 ce & Metallurgy. His research focuses on the processing of both convention
 al and novel materials for aerospace. He graduated in 2009 with an MEng in
  Materials Science from the University of Oxford.
