ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
I received my Ph.D. from University of Bristol where I studied residual stresses in shrink-fits and quenched components mainly using the deep hole drilling technique. I then joined the Open University as a research associate working on broader residual stress measurement techniques such as slitting, contour, x-ray and neutron diffraction methods. My current research at the OU is now focused on the Contour Technology Programme supported by EMDA and Rolls-Royce to improve the basic concepts of the contour method and applying it to complex engineering components.
