Professor Stanford is the Dean of Programs for Engineering and Aviation. She is the Editor-in-Chief of the peer reviewed journal called Alloys, and is the President of Materials Australia, the nations peak body for materials science and engineering. Before moving across to UniSA STEM, Prof Stanford was a Research Leader in UniSA’s Future Industries Institute where she worked on industry-sponsored projects such as pipeline integrity, coatings and 3D printing. Her niche in the materials research field has been to bridge the gap between engineering and science by applying a broad range of advanced characterisation techniques to “real world” problems such as fatigue, light-weighting and casting. Before joining UniSA, Prof Stanford held research positions with Imperial College London, the University of Manchester, University of Wollongong, Deakin University and Monash. Her seminal work on magnesium texture and ductility has received an International award.
