Dr James Warner is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney. His current research centres on laser powder bed fusion of nickel and niobium-based alloys for applications at high temperatures, with a particular focus on improving the manufacturability and process efficiency of manufacturing these materials. He received his PhD from the same institution, where his thesis focused on improving the performance and sustainability of AlSi7Mg when manufactured with laser powder bed fusion.
