  • Comment: You need to realize that these pages are often reviewed by notable academics. They are not going to be impressed by a long list of claims. These are WP:Peacock, and this article is full of puffery and WP:REFBOMBING. Cut the research description to 1/4 of what it is, add his Google Scholar profile. Whether he will pass WP:NPROF is unclear. Ldm1954 (talk) 12:24, 18 June 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: Please rewrite or remove all content written in a promotional tone and remove the many unnecessary references. I don't think describing each paper or project in detail is due weight; for instance, the "European team that worked on 3D printing of metallic alloys" is only cited to primary sources, and thus should not be included unless mentioned in secondary sources as well.

  • Comment: Please dial back the WP:REFBOMBING. There is virtually never the need for more than one citation to support a given statement; two at the outside, if it's a particularly contentious one. Certainly not twenty. DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:05, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

David Jarvis PhD FIMMM (born 6 April 1975[1]) is a British metallurgist, whose research and inventions within the aerospace and manufacturing sectors have been presented at international conferences[2][3] and discussed in policy-related forums[4][5]. He headed materials‑research sections at the European Space Agency from 2001 to 2016 and was elected an international member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) in 2012 for contributions to materials engineering[6].

Early life and education

[edit]

David Jarvis was born in Chatham, Kent, United Kingdom. He studied materials science and engineering at Swansea University, where he earned a PhD[7] in metallurgy and computational modelling in 2001, under the supervision of Prof. John Spittle and Professor Stephen G.R. Brown[8].

Career

[edit]

From 2001-2016, he worked at the European Space Agency (ESA) as Head of Sections for New Materials & Energy[9] and Strategic & Emerging Technologies[10], and currently works as the Director of VSCA[11] in Oslo, Norway.

From 2009-2014, Jarvis was an Expert Member of the European Science Foundation's (ESF) Materials Science and Engineering Expert Committee (MatSEEC)[12], providing technical input to Horizon2020 planning at the European Commission. He later founded and chaired Metallurgy Europe[13], a pan-European research program on metallurgy[14][15], which he presented at the European Parliament in Brussels in 2016[5].

Research and projects

[edit]

As a researcher, he is listed as inventor of 30 patent families[16][17][18] and has published research papers[19], related to additive manufacturing[20], intermetallics[21][22], metal combustion,[23][24] molten salts[25] and aluminium smelting[26].

Jarvis conceived and managed the IMPRESS Project[27] (Intermetallic Material Processing in relation to Earth and Space Solidification), which investigated novel TiAl and NiAl intermetallics, running from 2004-2009. This project developed new solidification technology for the investment casting of lightweight TiAl turbine blades and the gas atomization of NiAl catalytic powders[28][29].

In 2013, Jarvis initiated and managed the AMAZE Project[30] (Additive Manufacturing Aiming Towards Zero Waste and Efficient Production of High-Tech Metal Products), a European research project on 3D printing[31][32], involving numerous companies from the aerospace, nuclear fusion, automotive and energy sectors[33][34].

He also set up and ran the Accelerated Metallurgy Project,[35] a multi-partner European research project working on combinatorial material discovery that ran from 2011-2016[36]. Another European R&D project initiated by Jarvis in the 2010s is the ExoMet Project on light alloy nanocomposites[37], developing new high-strength magnesium and aluminium components for industry[38].

In March 2025, he published research at the TMS2025 Conference together with collaborators at UKAEA, presenting a new fusion shielding material, based on nanostructured tungsten boronitride, that is currently being radiation-tested for usage in the UK's nuclear fusion reactor[39].

Awards and honors

[edit]

In 2012, Jarvis was elected an International Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) for his work in materials engineering[6][40].

In 2025, Jarvis was also recognized by The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) in the US for the best paper award at TMS2024 in Orlando for research into environmentally sustainable aluminium smelting and he subsequently won the Light Metals Award at TMS2025 in Las Vegas[2].
