I initially joined the University as a Research Fellow undertaking a collaborative EPSRC funded project entitled ‘The Virtual Construction Site’ with University College London, UMIST and Teesside University. Since then I have undertaken various teaching and research roles in the area of Building Information Modelling, CAD / ICT for construction, architectural visualisation and virtual reality and remain actively involved with research and development within the School, publishing widely in the field of visual simulation for the construction industry. I have been responsible for delivering over £2m worth of R&D projects with the construction industry and successfully operated several Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) with each of these achieving at least a Grade B following independent assessment. The most recently completed KTP with the Severn Partnership was awarded an 'A-Grade (Outstanding) by an independent review. I have presented work at various international events including Germany, Eire, Canada, China and the USA.
