Biography

Engineering professional with a proven track record of international esteem in the fields of additive manufacturing and Industry 4.0. I am a Professor of Manufacturing & Product Design and the Director of the Smart and Sustainable Manufacturing (2SM) Research Group within the Faculty of Computing, Engineering, and the Built Environment at Birmingham City University. Prior to this role, I held the position of Associate Professor/Reader in Digital Manufacturing within the Faculty of Science & Engineering at Anglia Ruskin University, where I led several research initiatives focused on advanced manufacturing technologies.
Since 2017, I have won over £6.7 million in external funding from different sources (including Innovate UK, Erasmus+, Interreg North Sea Region, KTP, KEEP+). Majority of my work has been in collaboration with industrial partners where I have successfully delivered impactful and innovative projects leading to patent applications, derogation claims, and commercial value in the form of new products and services.
I am a highly effective and competent leader who has consistently delivered on various fronts. These leadership roles include leading research funding applications, lead author in peer-reviewed publications, REF 2021 Co-Convener for UoA 12 (2016-2019), School Representative for Athena SWAN (won the Bronze award in 2019), Faculty Representative for Professional Experience Group, and organizer for Engineering School research seminars. Some notable accolades from my career are as follows:

- Won the Vice Chancellor’s Award in the 'Outstanding Knowledge Exchange Collaboration' category for exceptional contribution to ARU's corporate ambitions (Feb 2023).
- Won the Faculty of Science & Engineering Dean’s Individual Award in the ‘Research and Partnerships’ category for impactful research activities with industrial and academic collaborators (Dec 2022).
- Won the ‘Best PgR Supervisory Team Award’ for my PhD student (First Supervisor) at the 2nd Annual Postgraduate Research (PgR) Awards 2022 organised by Anglia Ruskin University’s Doctoral School (Jul 2022).
- Won the Vice Chancellor’s Award in the 'Outstanding Research and Innovation Established Researcher' category for exceptional contribution to the university ambitions (Nov 2021).
- Won the ‘Top Reviewer Award’ for being the 3rd most prolific contributing peer reviewer on Publons for the Journal of Materials (Sep 2017).
- Won the Essex Local Network ‘Present around the World’ competition held in May 2014 organised by IET (Institution of Engineering & Technology).
