Uncover 20 years of experience working in hydrodynamics, radiography and groundbreaking nuclear threat reduction projects.

In this special series of New Scientist CoLab interviews, we spotlight exceptional women driving progress in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Stacey is Production Engineer at AWE, the technology and security organisation behind the UK’s nuclear deterrent. Today, she leads a team developing components for Astraea - the UK’s next-generation nuclear warhead programme.

We explore:

●     Stacey’s remarkable two-decade journey through science and engineering

●     The unique challenges of developing a new warhead without nuclear testing

●     How Stacey’s team is innovating to meet the demands of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT)

●     And why she is so passionate about advocacy for gender balance in STEM
