Professor Anna Paradowska

Professor in Advanced Structural Materials The University of Sydney Node Leader and Program Leader of The Australian Composites Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre (ACM CRC)
Professor Anna Paradowska

Prof Anna Paradowska is Conjoint Professor in Advanced Structural Materialsin Civil and AMME School, as well as Industrial Engagement Manager at the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ACNS) at ANSTO. Anna leads USyd Node and is a Program Leader of the $250M of the Australian Composites Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre (ACM CRC).

Anna works as a scientist but is an engineer by heart and education. She has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Monash University (2008) and a MSc degree in Materials Science Engineering from Wroclaw University of Technology (2001), Poland. She specialised in residual-stress analysis using neutron and synchrotron diffraction with particular focus on welds and advanced manufacturing processes. Anna is international expert in neutron diffraction stress analysis, which she uses for advanced manufacturing procedures, in particular, additive manufacturing and welding. The primary goal of her research is to relate residual-stresses, mechanical and metallurgical properties to manufacturing procedures and integrity requirements of engineering components.

Prior to her current appointment, Anna was working as Instrument Scientist on the neutron strain scanner Engin-X at ISIS,Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, STFC, UK (2007-11) and Kowari at ANSTO (2011-14). Her goal is to support Australian and global industry through building long-term collaborations and partnerships with universities, other research organisations, and businesses. Anna has a great track record of securing funding to access large scale facilities in an Australia and around the world. She has been involved in international and local industry focus grants such as Australian Research Council and Cooperative Research Centre.

She focuses not only on delivering solutions to industry via neutron scattering, but also providing training and mentoring to the next generation of scientist and engineers in the use of large scale scientific infrastructure. She has an exceptional publication record, a book, 2 book chapters and over 150 papers in scientific journals and conference proceedings. She has won several grants and publication awards both in Australia and overseas. She actively serves on several national and international advisory and reviewing committees.

Anna is passionate about building bridges between science and industry with a proactive focus on the promotion of science. Anna participates in various STEM programs and is an enthusiastic supporter and mentor of women in science and engineering.
