Research and career

Driscoll (also known as MacManus-Driscoll in her publications) earned her PhD in 1991 at the University of Cambridge [3] under Profs. Jan Evetts [4] and Derek Fray FRS.

From 1991 to 1995, she trained as a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University and IBM Almaden Research Center [5] where she worked under Ted Geballe, Robby Beyers [6] and John Bravman. In 1995, she joined Imperial College London as a lecturer in the Department of Materials, and was promoted to Reader in 1999. [5] She then did a sabbatical at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2003 where she has remained a visiting staff member/visiting faculty ever since. She joined the University of Cambridge in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy in 2003, and was promoted to Full Professor in 2008. She is a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge [7] and Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies in advanced memory materials. [8]

Driscoll was founding editor-in-chief of the American Institute of Physics's journal APL Materials and held the position for 10 years from 2013. [9] [10]
