Professor Christopher Hutchinson is the Alcoa Distinguished Professor in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. He obtained his PhD from the University of Virginia (USA), and after a post-doc at Grenoble Institute of Technology (France), returned to Melbourne to take up a Faculty position at Monash University.
His interests are in the physical and mechanical metallurgy of engineering alloys with a particular emphasis on steels, Al alloys and Cu and brasses. His work is split approximately equally between theory/modelling and experiment, and around half of his work is in collaboration with industry. For the last 10 years he has led the Woodside Energy FutureLab at Monash and leads the activities on 3D metal printing in this centre.
