Siviour, Clive

Academic background

Professor Clive Siviour completed an MPhys (2001) and PhD (2005) in the department of Physics, University of Cambridge, where he worked primarily on measuring the properties of materials under high strain rate deformation using the split Hopkinson bar.

Clive moved to Oxford in October 2005 to take up a Career Development Fellowship in Engineering, and was appointed to an Associate Professorship, with a Tutorial Fellowship at Pembroke College, in October 2008. In 2016 his early career contributions to Experimental Mechanics were recognised by the Society for Experimental Mechanics Young Investigator award.

Clive was made Associate Head of Department for Infrastructure in 2018; in this role he was responsible for overseeing the departments use of space, including leading projects on space refurbishments and upgrades. Since 2022 he had continued this work by overseeing the development of the department’s strategy for new buildings.

Clive became Head of Department and Professor of Materials Engineering in September 2024.

Research interests

Clive performs research on the response of materials to very rapid deformation, such as occurs during impact events. His main interest is in the development of novel experimental methodologies to accurately measure this response under a wide variety of conditions.
