Based at the University of Sussex and working in partnership with The Hadley Group, I undertook a PhD studentship working on the UltraSTEEL cold roll forming process.• Produced novel tooling designs for the cold roll forming dimpling of steel, increasing favourable plastic strains over ~90% of the steel sheet• Developed a novel measure of yield strength that can be applied to any yield type and can accurately characterise the behaviour of macroscopic structures. This was shown to be more representative of the behaviour of dimpled steel than current standards• Reviewed / studied international standards regarding the measurement of the mechanical properties of metallic materials: • BS EN 10002-1:2001 • ASTM E8/E8M-16a• Developed an expression enabling control of product yield strength (R^2 = 0.64) based on statistical modelling and supported by metallurgical principles and mechanical testing• Applied nonlinear FE methods to develop deeper understanding of stress and strain mechanisms and further industry goalsCAD | CAE | FEA | SolidWorks | ANSYS | Engineering Analysis | Computational Modelling | Materials Testing | Microstructure Analysis | Statistical Analysis | Process Optimisation

I taught labs and workshops both independently and as part of a team. The modules covered include:• Heat Transfer • Computer Aided Design & Modelling • Design for Manufacture • Materials and Manufacturing Processes

• Developed FEA (CalculiX) models exploring static and dynamic loads, and vibrational stresses on turbine engine blade rows• Analysed the frequency response for different crystal orientations and boundary conditions• Worked effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary/cultural team

• I taught classes and lead gradings for single students and groups of all ages, abilities, and motivations with a focus on technique and the associated biomechanics• From early 2012, I personally trained two students in preparation for international competitions in London in 2013. They won 5 medals between them
