Education and early life
Born in Kenya to Indian parents,[4] Harry Bhadeshia moved to the United Kingdom in the 70s and studied at the City of London Polytechnic (now London Metropolitan University) where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in 1976.[1] He joined the University of Cambridge to work on the theory and significance of retained austenite in steels and obtained his Ph.D. in 1980.[5]
Career and research
Following his PhD, he worked as an Science Research Council Research Fellow until 1981 and has been part of the academic staff at the University of Cambridge since then. He is the author of more than 500 published papers in the field of metallurgy[2][6] and several books. [7][8][9]
In the 90s, he worked with British Steel (now part of Tata Steel Europe) on a carbide-free, silicon-rich bainitic steel that was used for rails in the Channel Tunnel[10] and later on a high-performance armour steel for the British Ministry of Defence.[11] In 2006, he was awarded the Bessemer Gold Medal by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining for “outstanding services to the Steel Industry”.[12] In November 2008, he became the first Tata Steel Professor of Metallurgy [13] and he established and took the lead of the new “SKF University Technology Centre”, in May 2009 between SKF and the University of Cambridge to conduct research in the field of the physical metallurgy of bearing steels.[14]
