About
I am an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, which is part of the School of Engineering and Environment.
After my graduation from Aston University in Birmingham with a first-class honours degree in Production Technology, I furthered my study there and obtained a PhD degree. The project was sponsored by a company specialised in manufacturing design and CAD/CAM based in Aston Science park. My PhD title was Computer Integrated Manufacturing, and particularly specialised in data management in manufacturing. I have since broadened my research interest into other management aspects, including project and risk management, operations management, resources simulation, just-in-time production, smart manufacturing, performance measurement and productivity benchmarking.
In addition to my academic qualifications, I am also an UK-registered chartered engineer (CEng) and senior fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA).
In addition to my research and teaching duties, I am also currently assuming three departmental roles:
- Postgraduate coordinator
- Accreditation and quality tutor
- Liaison officer to a franchised MSc course delivered by the University of West Attica in Greece, who has a high esteem in higher education delivery in Europe.
Qualifications
- BSc (1st Honours) in Production Engineering with Aston University in Birmingham
- PhD in Computer Integrated Manufacturing with Aston University in Birmingham
- Chartered Engineer
- Senior Fellow of Higher Education Academy (SFHEA)
Domains
I did my PhD degree at Aston University in Birmingham, which was sponsored by an industrial company specialised in manufacturing and CAD/CAM. My PhD title was Computer Integrated Manufacturing, and the specialisation was information management in an integrated manufacturing environment.
I have since expanded my research interest into other management aspects, including project and risk management, operations management, resources simulation, just-in-time production, smart manufacturing and benchmarking productivity.
I have written and co-written many research papers, and have seen the completion of four PhD students.
I have also been an external examiner for four PhD students outside Kingston University.
