Dr Paul Missa

Currently, as well as modules leadership and delivery at both UG and PG levels, I supervise projects and dissertations (using Canvas). 

In my recent past, I have worked on converting Highways' Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Projects on Lean Construction/Manufacturing into publications and teaching materials for built environment modules. Additionally, I developed a business idea for a sustainable social enterprise start-up and completed an hourly-paid lectureship designing, updating and developing new modules for built environment and civil engineering students. Prior to this, I worked as a graduate teaching assistant while undertaking my PhD programme. I had also worked as a lecturer/teacher, researcher and projects administrator, predominantly with the DFID, gaining extensive experience in multidisciplinary research with a track record of publications in the UK and overseas.
