My research contributions are in processing-structure-property relationships of structural alloys for high performance applications, with key interests in aerospace. Currently, these materials include Ni-based superalloys, advanced steels, Ti-alloys, and refractory metals processed by thermo-mechanical routes or 3D printing. I combine state-of-the-art experimental techniques such as multiscale correlative microscopy with mechanical testing and contemporary modelling approaches. My research philosophy is to achieve a balance between fundamental discovery and industrial application. I am excited about developing the next generation of structural metallic materials in collaboration with industrial partners.I am an editor of Journal of Materials Science, current vice chair of the TMS Phase Transformations Committee, and active member of other professional organisations such as Materials Australia.Check out 'Engineering Microstructures' (group website) and '3D Additive' for more information on my research:http://www.engineeringmicrostructures.comhttps://www.3dadditive.com.au

My key areas of expertise lies within Astronomy and Astrophysics. Particularly, stars, planets, and the Milky Way.I use asteroseismology -- the ringing inside stars from star quakes -- to infer the physical properties of stars, such as their size, mass, and age.To measure the signature of this `music of the stars' I work closely with NASA to obtain data using the Kepler, K2, and TESS space telescopes; they measure tiny brightness variations of stars that reveal the frequencies of the stellar ringing.My group is pioneering the use of Artificial Intelligence, such as Deep Learning image recognition, to analyse large amount of asteroseismic data we receive from NASA.To get in touch, please use: d.stello -add- unsw.edu.au
