Research interests
I hold a Ph. D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Malaga in Spain: DIC for evaluation of fracture parameters. Expert in Digital Image Correlation, Crack Tip Fields, Fatigue and Fracture, Selection and Characterisation of Metallic Materials.
I am currently the technical Specialist in the Creep & Residual Stress Labs in the Department of Mechanical Engineering where innovative and ambitiouse testing ideas put into practice technically. We enjoy having a wide range of Mechanical Testing machines for conducting room/high temperature tests at controlled environment which can be combined with Digital Image Correlation technique for displacement/strain measurements.
My research interests:
-Digital Image Correlation
-Fatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials
-Advanced Manufacturing
-Thermo-mechanical Fatigue and Creep
-Advance Methods for Residual Stress Measurement
-Production and Characterisation of Advanced Materials
