Interests

I develop new materials that are lighter, tougher, and more sustainable, aimed at solving urgent challenges in aerospace, transport, and energy. My expertise lies in fundamental fracture mechanics and toughness, understanding how and why materials fail, then designing solutions that can withstand extreme conditions without adding weight.

This approach has led to patented technologies now in trial use for satellites and electric vehicles. Supported by major fellowships and collaborations, I bridge computer modelling, laboratory research, and real-world manufacturing to deliver innovations that move quickly from idea to application..
