About

I am part time member of staff with a focus on Foundation/Level 3 modules, particularly mechanics and laboratory practices. I have a research background in instrumentation and experimental methods of studying impact behaviour of low-density cellular materials.

Academic responsibilities

Lecturer in Aerospace and Aircraft Engineering

Qualifications

  • BEng Hons. Mechanical Engineering
  • PhD

Teaching and learning

Undergraduate courses taught

Research

My research focuses on the development of novel equipment and test methods to study both static and dynamic properties of low density and cellular solid materials, with a particular focus on dynamic impact performance and recovery at elevated temperatures.

Qualifications and expertise

  • PhD in Mechanical Engineering

Areas of specialism

  • Impact Performance of Low Density Materials and Cellular Solids
