About

I am Head of Discipline of Engineering within the College of Science and Engineering. I am leading a team of 34 academics and over 1000 students, spanning mechanical, manufacturing, motorsport, electrical & electronics and entertainment engineering. I am also an active researcher with research expertise in engineering materials, manufacturing and reliability engineering (with applications in electronics, automotive, and aerospace sectors).

Research interests

My primary research goals are directed towards characterisation and modelling of alloys and soft-solid materials and their processing (with specific reference to automotive, oil and aerospace industries). I have special interests and expertise in the area of the theoretical modelling and experimental study of the flow and deformation behaviour of paste materials (in particular, lead-free solder pastes used in electronics assembly applications). My current research interests also include thermal management using advanced metal matrix composites and reliability engineering – specifically, experimental studies using thermal cycling, highly accelerated life testing and failure analysis; as well as fatigue modelling of solder joints using finite element methods.
