My Corrosion Journey: Dr Jane Lomas (ICorr / Amtec Consultants Limited)
The talk will cover some aspects of the working life of a corrosion engineer and the role that ICorr has played in Jane’s corrosion journey. Whilst obtaining a BSc in Biochemistry, an interest in the problems with corrosion of metal hip joint replacements made an MSc in Corrosion seem a logical next step. This led on to the establishment of an independent corrosion consultancy and jobs ranging from beer cans to aeroplanes; bulk carriers to battleships; building and factory corrosion issues to corrosion of classic cars, church windows and Blackpool Tower.
