Profile

Adam completed his PhD in the Blast and Impact Dynamics research group at the University of Sheffield in early 2024.

His project, titled 'Machine Learning Tools for Blast Load Prediction in Obstructed Environments', explored a range of methods for developing rapid analysis tools that can assist with human injury prediction and structural damage estimations following the detonation of a high explosive.

He is now continuing this work within the group, whilst also acting as numerical modelling lead for commercial and academic research projects.
