About Me
My current research is focused on innovative electric
motor development for EV within the Advanced Electric Propulsion Research Group
at the University of South Wales. I am performing research to deliver next
generation EV motors for vehicles including cars, vans, large road vehicles,
trains, buses, marine, yellow goods and aviation sectors. I actively
participate in collaborative R&D to design and develop high performance
electric motors using revolutionary design techniques, modelling and optimisation
of the manufacturing processes associated with robust motor control for
enhanced performance in a wide operating environment. My role involves the
development of materials for use in electric motors, their properties and
performance (magnetic, mechanical, thermal, coatings etc.) together with
design, modelling, building and testing of electric motors.
I am an experienced Metallurgy and Materials Science
professional and an active member and Fellow of IOM3. To complement my academic qualifications and
industrial experience I completed a specialist Technology Management MBA to
enable increased contribution in technology-based leadership and management
roles. I am a Welsh Crucible alumnus, a programme to develop research leaders
and hold an ILM Leadership qualification.
