Supervision
Current PhD Students
Contact your Faculty Operating Service team to update PhD students you supervise and any you’ve previously supervised. Making this information available will help potential PhD applicants to find you.
Teaching
I contribute to modules across all University student levels, including Mechanical Systems Analysis, Advanced Sensors and Condition Monitoring etc. I supervise a number of popular individual projects, MSc projects, as well as Group Design Project every year. I am particularly passionate about research led teaching and education, integrating state of the art research with conventional engineering knowledge and theories.
