• Postdoctoral Research Assistant

  • Oct 2017 - Jan 2018

  Characterisation of novel steels for Rolls-Royce plc UltraFan gearbox applications. Research included high temperature compression testing, metallographic specimen preparation and microscopy. This was conducted alongside the supervision of five undergraduate student projects with Rolls-Royce plc and a second industrial partner, Doncasters Aerospace Ltd.

• Student Demonstrator/Teaching Assistant

  • Oct 2014 - Oct 2017

  The main purpose of the role is to assist the relevant module leader to introduce or expandunderstanding of a specific subject area for undergraduate students. The Demonstrator works typically under the direction and close supervision of an academicmember of staff, working with a whole class of students completing experiments and otherclosely guided work in the laboratory or the studio.A Demonstrator must have attended and successfully completed the Teaching Skills courseheld in APECS Development and Training Services.

• EngD Research Engineer

  • Oct 2013 - Oct 2017

  From 2013 to 2017 I completed a research project in conjunction with Rolls-Royce plc entitled "An Investigation into the Thermo Mechanical Fatigue Behaviour of Titanium Metal Matrix Composites". This project has consisted of the development of a bespoke thermo-mechanical fatigue testing system in order to investigate the fundamental behaviour of titanium metal matrix composites under complex loading conditions.This work was presented at the Engineering Integrity Society (EIS) international Fatigue 2017 conference in Cambridge on the 4th of July 2017.EngD projects are defined by our long standing industrial sponsors and address operational requirements identified by these companies. Research into advanced, structural materials is undertaken in conjunction with the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre (UTC) in Materials based at Swansea University. The project is funded by the EPSRC Strategic Partnership in Structural Metals for Gas Turbines.
