Research and career
editDriscoll (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]
