Micaela holds a degree in Materials Engineering from Instituto Sabato, Universidad Nacional de San Martín. After graduation she worked for two years at Argentina’s National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA), where she provided technical consultancy on metallurgy and contributed to welding inspection activities for the CAREM nuclear reactor project in Argentina.
Micaela is part of Cohort 2 of the Materials 4.0 CDT and is based at The University of Manchester. Her research project, “5- Dimensional Data Workflows to Understand Hydrogen Embrittlement”, is run in collaboration with Xnovotech. Micaela’s research focuses on exploring laboratory-based diffraction contrast tomography (LabDCT), a non-destructive three-dimensional characterisation technique for investigating hydrogen embrittlement in aluminium and dual-phase stainless steels.
