About

I am a Senior Lecturer in Solid Mechanics and the course leader for the Mechanical Engineering Technology (BEng) Degree Apprenticeship. My module leadership responsibilities include Level 7 Applied Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics and Level 4 Engineering Principles for Apprentices. I also supervise a PhD student and several MSc and BEng dissertations.
 
I am a Chartered Engineer and Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and spent 5 years working in the manufacturing industry before doing my PhD. This included cold-drawn steel processing, starter ring-gear manufacture, CNC tube manipulation and lean manufacturing.
 
Since 2002 I have spent 20 years in academic research in some diverse fields: multi-body dynamic modelling and vehicle design optimisation for pedestrian safety; MEMS (fabrication and testing of resonators for investigating the Casimir force); counter terrorism, blast behaviour in urban environments and blast mitigation technology (FEA and public perception of counter-terrorism measures); auxetic materials (FEA of auxetic structures and analysis of the relationship between Poisson's ratio and hydrophobicity).
