- Profile
-
After obtaining an M.Eng (First) from The University of Sheffield, I initially followed an aerospace materials career working for Rolls-Royce before studying for a PhD at Imperial College London – "predicting microstructural evolution during forging of Ti alloys (EPSRC/QinetiQ)".
Between 2001 and 2005 I worked as a Research Associate and Lecturer at Imperial on a range of Conform, hot rolling and forging projects for the UK and US defence sectors. In 2005 I was awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering/EPSRC Research Fellowship with a remit “to develop solid-state processes to reduce the cost of titanium” and moved back to the department in 2008. I was appointed to Professor of Advanced Metals Processing in 2019. Director of Aerospace Engineering (2015-2019), Royce Research Area Lead for Advanced Metals Processing (2019-2024). Since 2015 I have represented the UK at the World Titanium Committee. (Chair of Ti-2023 in Edinburgh). I have been a member of the IOM3 Non-ferrous & Light Metals Committee for over 20 years. I have a HVM Catapult Researcher in Residence position at NMIS/AFRC (University of Strathclyde). I am the principal contact for the DSTL DMEx platform and Principal Scientist for their Land Working Group.
- Research interests
-
My Sheffield Titanium Research Alloy (STAR) research group focus on working 100% with industry (currently automotive, aerospace, sports goods and defence) to reduce cost in solid-state processes (forging -> machining), this includes creating digital fingerprints of microstructure through machining force response analysis. This includes working alongside machine tool manufacturers. We are pioneers in the recycling of aerospace machining swarf / powder: utilising Conform (continuous extrusion) to create wire/springs and field-assisted sintering technology (FAST/SPS) to produce near-net shapes with as-forged properties (FAST-forge). We also produce new higher performance titanium alloys for the aerospace sector. We have generated a number of patents with industry partners.
Key research interests:
- New disruptive in-process NDE technique: digital microstructures directly from machining force response.
- Machine tool insert degradation mechanisms during machining of titanium and nickel superalloys.
- Microstructure and Property prediction (digital twins) during solid-state processing (forging, rolling and extrusion).
- Recycling of aerospace waste streams (swarf and AM powder) using Conform [continuous extrusion] and field-assisted sintering technology [FAST].
- Creator of new opportunities for sustainable processing. From powder/swarf to product in two steps: FAST-forge, CIP-FAST, AddFAST, FAST-roll and FAST-form
