Education
She earned an undergraduate degree in materials science at Imperial College London,[4] and a PhD in 1990[5] from the University of Cambridge.[4]
Research and career
She did training as a postdoctoral researcher from 1991-1995 at Stanford University and subsequently joined the IBM Almaden Research Center.[6] She joined Imperial College London as a lecturer in the Department of Materials, and was promoted to reader in 1999.[6] She then did a sabbatical at Los Alamos National Laboratory[6] and subsequently joined the University of Cambridge in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy in 2003. She was promoted to Professor in 2008.[6]
Driscoll has conducted research widely across the fields of complex functional materials,[2][3] with a particular emphasis of the engineering of them to obtain the performance required for industry application and for future energy devices.[7] She has worked largely on oxide systems, focusing particularly on high temperature superconductivity, ferroics and multiferroics, ionics, and semiconductors.
Driscoll is founding editor-in-chief of the American Institute of Physics's journal APL Materials.[8][9] She has several patents relating to high-temperature superconductivity.[10]
