Professor Dmitry Eskin (1963) joined Brunel University London and BCAST in January 2011. He received his Engineering and PhD degrees in Russia and worked in Russian Academy of Sciences (1988–1999). Since 1999, he was a Fellow in Materials innovation institute</a> and since 2008 also an Associate Professor in Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands). He also holds positions of Guest Professor at Tomsk State University (Russia), Editor of Journal of Alloys and Compounds (Elsevier), Subject Editor of JOM (Springer/TMS), Key Reader of Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A (TMS) and “Advances in Metallic Alloys” Series Editor (CRC Press). Prof. Eskin is a well-known specialist in physical metallurgy and solidification processing of light alloys, author and co-author of more than 200 scientific papers, 5 patents and 6 monographs. Current interests include fundamentals of ultrasonic processing on light alloys and composite materials, solidification processing and direct-chill casting. Prof. Eskin is a recipient of Warren Peterson Cast Shop Technology for Aluminum Production Award (2011, 2013) and Aluminum Technology Award (2013) from TMS (USA).

Research interests: Physical processing of molten light alloys under the influence of external Fields (Exomet, FP7). Development of efficient and scalable ultrasound-assisted solidification technologies for manufacturing advanced metallic alloys (Ultra-Cast. EPSRC). New model of the third cycle in engineering education due to Bologna Process in BY, RU, UA (NetCEng, Tempus, FP7).
