Biography
I am working as a Senior Lecturer (Equivalent) and a Senior Research Fellow with the School of Computing and Engineering at the University of Huddersfield. I hold a BEng and an MEng in Computer Science and Technology, a PhD in Instrument Science and Technology, a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, and a PGC in Higher Education. I was appointed as a Research Fellow in June 2021 and a Senior Research Fellow in September 2024 and have served as a Senior Lecturer (Equivalent) since June 2025. I have engaged in teaching undergraduate and master’s students and supervising/co-supervising PhD students since September 2023. I have authored/co-authored 60+ journal papers. I am leading a Royal Society International Exchanges Grant which aims to develop an AI-assisted approach for laser powder bed fusion product specification and verification. I am a fellow of the Higher Education Academy, a member of the EPSRC Peer Review College, an expert reviewer of EPSRC funding applications, an expert reviewer of AHRC funding applications, a review expert of funding applications from an international funding body, an editorial team member of 6 journals, and a reviewer of 90+ journals.
