Lecturer in Composites Engineering
Mission Priority Areas
My research passion centres on the data-driven and physics-based modelling of composites for mechanical performance investigating non-linear and dynamic loading scenarios.
Within this group, we develop advanced numerical methods to accelerate the adoption of modern material technologies in engineering to achieve energy efficiency and net-zero. We focus on digital manufacturing and modelling to achieve holistic modelling platform that achieves sustainability and performance.
We collaborate with industry experts on composite manufacturing and performance, and academic partners on experimental mechanics, advanced imaging and modelling.
My current research incorporates material science, data-driven modelling and mechanics for applications in aerospace, mechanical and infrastructure engineering.
I am interested in supporting and supervising students in all these fields whilst enabling a supporting environment to develop their talents.
I am committed to embedding EDI principles through both structural change and personal engagement, recognising that meaningful inclusion is informed by the lived experiences of individuals from diverse backgrounds.
Apart from my diverse background, I have mentored students from underrepresented backgrounds and contributed to initiatives that centre equity and belonging in academic spaces.
