Dr Andrew Breen is a senior postdoctoral fellow and deputy group leader of the Engineering Microstructures group within the Transport and Infrastructure theme of the School of Materials Science & Engineering. Andrew received his PhD from USyd in 2014 where he remained as an atom probe support engineer until 2016. He then undertook a Humboldt Fellowship at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (Germany) to directly observe hydrogen in metals. In 2019, he returned to USyd as a Senior Postdoctoral Fellow in an AUSMURI funded project focused on understanding structure-property-processing relationships of additively manufactured alloys. In 2024 he transitioned into his current role. Andrew is a leading expert in microstructural characterisation, particularly advanced atom probe analysis techniques.

I am currently funded through ARC linkage project LP230100155 'Sustainable and Robust Australian Ni-based superalloy manufacturing' in collaboration with Western Australian Specialty Alloys Pty Ltd. (WASA).

My current research focuses on using advanced microstructural characteristation techniques to elucidate microstructural evolution brought about by thermomechanical treatment as well as processing challenges observed in wrought superalloy production.
