Scholar-generated biography
Livia Cupertino-Malheiros is an Assistant Professor at Imperial College London, specializing in hydrogen embrittlement, materials science, physical metallurgy, and electrochemistry. Her research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of hydrogen-assisted cracking in steels, particularly tempered martensitic steels, through advanced mechanical testing and fracture analysis. She investigates the interplay between hydrogen flux, plasticity, and microstructural evolution in materials, with applications in corrosion resistance and structural integrity. Her work also explores hydrogen diffusion, trapping, and electrochemical behavior in metals, contributing to the development of materials for extreme environments such as fusion power plants. Her studies integrate experimental techniques with computational modeling to enhance the performance and durability of metallic materials.
