Hayley's work involves investigating the impact of 30 years of conservation treatments on the condition of the cannonballs recovered from Henry VIII's flagship, the Mary Rose.

Her project, undertaken in collaboration with the Mary Rose Trust and Diamond Light Source, involves the analysis of the cannonballs and their corrosion products using sophisticated X-ray techniques at the Diamond synchrotron.
