Employment History

09/2004 - Oxford Brookes University, Department of Architecture
Lecturer in Technology
10/2003 - 07/2004Cambridge University Engineering Department
Postdoctoral Research Associate. Research into teaching and learning methods in engineering and technology, with a particular focus on Cambridge University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Specific areas of investigation included the control that students have over their studies, and the ways in which students could be motivated and inspired to continue in engineering after the end of their degree course. Also investigated possible eLearning technologies that could be deployed.
10/2001 - 06/2003RolaTube Technology Limited
Research and Development Manager. Management of research relationship between RolaTube and Cambridge University. Development of considerable expertise in the design and optimisation of composite layups. Research into composite layups with properties approximating isotropic materials (in 2D). Development of a software package for the design of bi-stable, and other, composite layups.
04/2001 - 07/2001; 07/2003 - 09/2003Freelance typesetting
Typesetting of new edition of two books on Prolog in LaTeX (2001) and of a book on academic politics (2003). Production of new figures using LaTeX macros (2001).
1997 - 2003Cambridge University Engineering Department
Assorted teaching: supervised 1st year students in Mechanics and Structural Mechanics, 2nd year students in Structures and 3rd year students in Solid Mechanics. Assisted at laboratory sessions for 1st year students in C++ and for 3rd year students in Structural Modelling.
06/1996 - 08/1996Centre des Matériaux, Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines, Paris
Commencement of work on 4th-year project for Cambridge MEng degree. Addition and validation of axisymmetric shell elements to the new C++ version of the finite element analysis code, ZéBuLoN. Investigation into implementation of 3D shell elements, and of the Riks algorithm.
08/1995 - 09/1995Centre des Matériaux, Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines, Paris
Validating and testing finite element analysis code, ZéBuLoN. Majority of time spent comparing results obtained by ZéBuLoN with those obtained by ABAQUS for a variety of linear elastic, elasto-plastic, visco-plastic and hyperelastic problems. Also some research into the necking of a specimen according to the Gurson formulation (results from both ZéBuLoN and ABAQUS).
07/1995Zétra Système, Châteaudun, France
Validation of finite element analysis code, ZéBuLoN, with particular emphasis on the Mooney and Rivlin hyperelastic laws for rubber components. Development of code in C for the ZéBuLoN post-processor to model spring and beam elements.
07/1994 - 08/1994Comissariat à l'Energie Atomique, Saclay, France
Investigation into the failure of cracked cylindrical tubes subjected to an applied couple, using the finite element analysis program CASTEM.
01/1993 - 03/1993Ford Motor Company, Swansea
Tooling engineer on the crankshaft line for the Zeta engine. Oversaw the introduction of new drill bits and cutting tools. Conducted quality assurance audit of line using statistical process control techniques. Trained the line-workers in the use of a balancing machine. Prepared cost analysis for the line, and updated database of parts for ISO9000 certification.
