Research Interests
I am currently the director of iESD, (institute Engineering Systems and Design) within the School of Mechanical Engineering and am leading the institutes research activities in the area of next generation health care devices. I am also Chair of TILT, a group tasked with encouraging innovation in teaching and learning and am the deputy director of teaching and learning within the School.
My background in dynamics and control, was gained at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Southampton University were I obtained my PhD and undertook postdoctoral research in the field of aero engine vibration control, in collaboration with Rolls Royce. After moving to Leeds in 1997, my research interests broadened to include various automotive and medical engineering applications. I currently lead all engineering aspects of a number of multidisciplinary research projects aimed at developing intelligent systems to deliver automated restorative physical therapy.
While being at Leeds I have taught a number of modules, and at the moment I deliver a large compulsory module in Vibration and Control to all our undergraduates. To support greater access to our excellent laboratory facilities, I continue to be responsible for ReLOAD, a system we have developed to enable any student to access our equipment live via the web.
