Current activities
As Head of the Centre for Defence Engineering, I am responsible for the growth and development of the Centre, with the overarching aim of creating world-leading academic knowledge within the multiple disciplines that make up defence engineering and technology.
My research in understanding the dynamic behaviour of materials provides a unique underpinning for this role and is particularly helpful when designing structures that are subjected to ballistic impact or shock-wave loading.
This element of my work is based around the fields of Survivability, Lethality and Materials - bridging across several of the groups within the Centre and more widely. A particular focus of my own research is an interest in the dynamic behaviour of materials used in armour systems, vehicular and aerospace structures, and munitions.
Further, I have a background in the shock behaviour of biological structures which has led to a substantial body of research including two PhDs, an MSc by Research and several publications to-date.
These interests, collectively encompassing material behaviour under extreme conditions, has led to an emerging focus on material behaviour under hypervelocity impact (2-8 km/s) - and has led to the opportunity to co-found a 'Consortium for Organotypic Research on Ageing and Microgravity' (https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/activity/chemical-engineering/healthcare/consortium-organotypic-research-ageing-microgravity.aspx) alongside Dr Alexandra Iordachescu from Birmingham.
I'm currently involved with the ShockWaves and Extreme Conditions (SWEC) group of the IoP (a founding member of the Committee, I served as Chair from 2018-2022) and am directly involved in the promotion of physics and engineering to the wider community: https://www.iop.org/physics-community/special-interest-groups/shock-waves-extreme-conditions-group#gref
As part of the above, I have successfully stood up a series of SWEC research talks / seminars. Details are available at the following link (all are welcome to attend): https://www.iopconferences.org/iop/frontend/reg/tOtherPage.csp?pageID=1044688&eventID=1689&traceRedir=2
Recordings of the some of the recent talks include
