Research Interests
- Manufacturing technologies and approaches for a sustainable future
- Additive manufacturing (materials, processes, design and application)
- Electrical discharge machining, electrolyte jet machining, electron beam and laser processes
- Stochastics in engineering design and manufacture
- Machine design and build
- Manufacturing for high value and high integrity applications (aerospace, biomedical, tool and nuclear)
Current Research Questions
- How can digital twins of additive manufacturing components be gathered and used to qualify components?
- Can stochastic design tools be used to create superior engineering components by additive manufacturing?
- What is the best method to produce conformal, high integrity functionally graded components?
- How can human cognitive design limits be overcome to exploit fully the freedoms of additive manufacturing?
- How can advanced manufacturing technologies be used secure a sustainable energy future?
- What is the smallest volume of material that can be removed in a subtractive process under ambient conditions?
- How can crystallographic ‘characteristics’ be evaluated on the factory floor?
