Career Aims

My background (MSc & BEng) is in Manufacturing & Production engineering. More recent activities, leading to my PhD and beyond, have involved a great deal of research and practical work in polymer processing. My particular area of interest is product/process improvement through the use of Design of Experiments (Taguchi Method, in particular). I have applied this technique to polymer processing applications in the last few years. This, coupled with my manufacturing background, makes me interested in process optimisation, and quality control problem solving. I'd also like a career in petrochemical engineering. Its a very big exciting business and I think the particular skills I've developed in process optimisation/ quality problem solving could be very valuable in Refinery processing operations. Moreover, I consider academic, training, and research activities. I posses significant analytical skills and a methodical approach to problem solving enhanced by extensive computational skills.

EMPLOYMENT

1995 - to date Bradford University, Bradford, UK.

Post-Doctoral Research

Continuation of my PhD work, i.e., research in polymer processing techniques (injection moulding, extrusion, blow moulding). Most of the work was in close collaboration with industry (e.g., Amoco, BP, Dynisco, Lucas, DuPont, Rexam, and more). Many of these activities are covered by confidentiality clauses and can not therefore be elaborated upon.

EDUCATION

1991 - 1995 Bradford University, Mechanical Engineering, Bradford, UK

PhD "The Use Of Taguchi Methods In Injection Moulding Quality Control": - A 323-page thesis on the application of Taguchi Method to injection moulding process. Taguchi Method is a Design of Experiment tool used, off-line, for process optimisation. Injection moulding is a key polymer processing technology capable of high volume precision net shaping of high added value articles, and a major economic area of the plastic industry. The combining of the two research domains involved various complexities and demanded concise analytical capabilities. In-house laboratory data and industrial data formed the basis for the conclusions of the work, which was highly regarded by both academic and industrial collaborators, resulting in a number of studentship awards.

1990 - 1991 Bradford University, Mechanical Engineering, Bradford, UK

Modules: Computer communications & control, Modelling/ simulation & expert systems, Business & manufacturing strategy, Total quality management, Polymer engineering, Robotics & machine intelligence, Automation & CIM, Design of manufacturing systems, Manufacturing planning & control, Management & financial control, Advanced materials & processes

Dissertation: 179-page thesis investigating the influence of tool temperature & hold pressure on injection moulding product quality.

1986 - 1990 Leeds Metropolitan University, Leeds, Bradford, UK

Modules: Production systems, Financial Management, CAD/CAM, Industrial relations, Robotics, Control, Machine tool technology, Computer programming (Pascal), & CIM.
