Manufacture of high-performance composite structures.

Affordable Composites Manufacturing: Initiated alternative processes for large-part, low cost composite manufacture. Conceived, wrote and led successful grant bid for the ”Grand Challenge” scheme, awarded by the Technology Strategy Board, UK Government.

Next generation wind turbine blade development, Composite Materials and Processes. Conceived possible methods of alternative future blade manufacture with reduced CAPex and OPex over current manufacture.Rapid Resin Deposition: Conceived and initiated research on a novel low cost infusion process for Wind Turbine Blade manufacture.

Composite Research into a number of Out-of-Autoclave composite curing processesProject Leader of the Lightweight Armour Project (A$1.2M): Conceived, proposed and delivered a composite-based armour system with a Commercial partner and CSIRO under the DSTO Capability Technology Demonstrator.
