Profile

After graduating with an MEng in Aerospace Engineering from The University of Liverpool (1999) I worked for BHR Group’s Sealing Technology Department as a project engineer. While working on a range of sealing and modelling projects I concurrently obtained a PhD in elastomer seals from Cranfield University (2003).

From 2008 to 2016 I was a lecturer in China where I taught materials engineering to undergraduate and postgraduate students.

I started teaching on the Aviation programme at The University of Leeds in 2017 as a Teaching Fellow. I lead on a number of modules and also contribute to many others.

In 2022 I became Head of the Aviation Programme.
