The project life-cycle spanned just under 3 years and initiated with concept development & objective design features identified as target marketing advantages against predicate device(s). Manged the project through design development & validation culminating in regulatory submission in a number of target markets and in parallel worked through process development to DFM principles to complete process validation and manage the project through production ramp & product release for commercial launch. Product has completed several months of commercial use with positive feedback from users & customer and target center predicate conversion rates also positive.

  Galway Developed the application of a novel glass fibre and thermoplastic resin system for use in the development of a wind turbine blade. Investigated mechanisms involved in the consolidation of stitched glass fibre reinforced cyclic polybutylene terephthalate (CBT™) during processing establish an optimum process window for manufacture. Process was then applied to a patented design to manufacture wind turbine blades for commercial use. Publications & Patents: • S.M.Coll, A.M.
