About
I am a chartered engineer, member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and member of the British Computer Society. I specialised in CAD/CAM/CAE, engineering design and manufacturing automation and have been at Kingston Universitysince 1994.
I worked in the manufacturing industry before starting my academic career at Kingston Universitywhere I held a research fellowship and then a lecturer position.
My research project was based on the development of a pneumatic array of air jet proximity to tactile sensing device for manufacturing parts identification, slip detection and force monitoring. I also carried out further research in CAD/CAM, design and manufacture and the application of the tactile sensing device to assist robot part handling and assembly.
I was on the editorial boards of three international journals: Sensor Review, Industrial Robots and Assembly Automation. I also reviewed other international journals/conferences.
