Armourers and Brasiers' Cambridge Forum 2025
Armourers and Brasiers' Cambridge Forum 2025
The Armourers and Brasiers' Cambridge Forum is an annual event for the materials science community, incorporating talks, poster sessions, networking opportunities, and the chance to hear from early-career researchers. It aims to raise the profile of materials science in the UK's academic and industrial communities, while being international in scope. The Forum attracts high-level involvement from industry, research councils and other influential bodies. It incorporates the Kelly Lecture, which this year will be delivered by Professor Mary Ryan, Vice Provost for Research and Enterprise and the Armourers and Brasiers' Chair for Materials Science, Imperial College London. The Forum is generously supported by the Armourers and Brasiers' Livery Company, AWE, Henry Royce Institute, Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining, The Materials Processing Institute, Rolls-Royce, and Paragraf.
The Armourers & Brasiers’ Company
The Armourers & Brasiers’ Company is a livery company in the City of London. It was founded in 1322 to oversee standards in the making of armour and helmets in and around the City of London. Charitable work was always part of the Company’s purpose, focused on the welfare of members and apprentice education. In modern times, the Company, through its Gauntlet Trust, supports education, research and innovation in Materials Science as this is the modern discipline most closely aligned to its craft heritage of manufacturing in metals and materials.

Title to be confirmed
Mary leads a large interdisciplinary group focused on understanding nanoscale materials, and nanoscale interfaces in and between materials and their environments. She has a particular interest in the development of operando approaches and has pioneered nanoscale methods in synchrotron science.
Her research on nanoscale materials and interfaces spans diverse application areas including: energy materials (batteries, magnetocaloric cooling devices, photovoltaics, fuel cells and catalysis); nanomaterials for bio-sensors and therapies; the mechanisms that lead to human and environmental toxicity associated with nanostructures, and the potential of nanomaterials for environmental remediation (in particular for nuclear waste). A key aspect of this work is understanding the reactivity and stability of nanostructures in operando in order to maximize efficiency and lifetime of devices and systems. She was elected Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2015 and is a Fellow IoM3 and of the Institute of Corrosion. She was awarded CBE for contributions to Materials Science in the 2022 Queen's Birthday honours
