Armourers and Brasiers' Cambridge Forum 2025
Armourers and Brasiers' Cambridge Forum 2025
The Armourers and Brasiers' Cambridge Forum is an annual event for the materials science community, incorporating talks, poster sessions, networking opportunities, and the chance to hear from early-career researchers. It aims to raise the profile of materials science in the UK's academic and industrial communities, while being international in scope. The Forum attracts high-level involvement from industry, research councils and other influential bodies. It incorporates the Kelly Lecture, which this year will be delivered by Professor Mary Ryan, Vice Provost for Research and Enterprise and the Armourers and Brasiers' Chair for Materials Science, Imperial College London. The Forum is generously supported by the Armourers and Brasiers' Livery Company, AWE, Henry Royce Institute, Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining, The Materials Processing Institute, Rolls-Royce, and Paragraf.
The Armourers & Brasiers’ Company
The Armourers & Brasiers’ Company is a livery company in the City of London. It was founded in 1322 to oversee standards in the making of armour and helmets in and around the City of London. Charitable work was always part of the Company’s purpose, focused on the welfare of members and apprentice education. In modern times, the Company, through its Gauntlet Trust, supports education, research and innovation in Materials Science as this is the modern discipline most closely aligned to its craft heritage of manufacturing in metals and materials.

Nanoscale Materials and Interfaces: From Faraday to future technologies
Professor Mary Ryan CBE, FREng, FIMMM, FICorr, FCGI is the Vice-Provost for Research and Enterprise at Imperial College London and holds the Armourers and Brasiers' Chair in Materials Science. She is a leading expert in electrochemical materials science, heading an interdisciplinary research team that investigates nanoscale materials and interfaces, with a particular focus on their behaviour in complex environments. Her pioneering work has advanced operando approaches and the use of synchrotron techniques, especially at the nanoscale. Mary has published over 200 papers and supervised more than 50 PhD students.
Mary joined Imperial in 1998, and in her current role as Vice-Provost she is responsible for developing and providing leadership to the delivery of the University’s research and enterprise strategy, enhancing quality, impact, management, and the development of Imperial’s enterprise ecosystem. Elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2015, she is also a Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IoM3) and the Institute of Corrosion. In 2022, she was awarded CBE for services to materials science.
