Biography
I joined Coventry University in January 2017 as a Senior Lecturer in Solid Mechanics and I currently lecture MEng and MSc level Stress and Dynamics, concentrating on finite element methods. As an active researcher, to date, I have 2 books, 10 book chapters, 29 journal papers, 34 conference papers in laser material processing, healthcare engineering and wettability/adhesion characteristics. On account of my wide ranging expertise, I am also a journal manuscript reviewer for 13 international journals and an external expert for the European Union COST Action Research Programme. I am involved in Research Council and industrial research, working over a number of different industries, and to date I have been involved in 18 research grants with a total combined value of £8,619,355.00. Furthermore, I have personally been the recipient of 8 awards with a total value of £2,575.00.
I am an active member of the Laser Engineering and Manufacturing Research Group, based within the Institute for Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering. Owed to my activity in the field of material science, I have been appointed to the position of Editor-in-Chief for The International Journal of Wettability Science and Technology (IJWST: http://www.oldcitypublishing.com/journals/ijwst-home/).
