Associate Lecturer Jennifer Stansby

Jennifer Stansby is an Associate Lecturer in Nuclear Engineering at UNSW and visiting Research Fellow at the UTSA Extreme Environments Materials Lab. Her research aims to develop and discover new materials that will extend the fuel cycle length in nuclear reactors, improving the prospects of nuclear power. This is achieved by tuning the chemical composition of solid-state materials to optimise their physical properties and then using advanced in situ characterisation methods to evaluate and understand the materials' performance. Jenny transitioned to the field of nuclear during her first Postdoctoral Fellowship at UNSW upon graduating with a PhD in Chemistry on energy storage materials from UNSW/ANSTO in 2021.
