I don’t write very often about my research on this blog.  The purpose in starting the blog was desire to contribute to better public understanding of engineering in general.  However, occasionally I include material related to my research activities and you can find these posts using the tag ‘MyResearch‘. For a list of my published papers go to my profile in Google Scholar.

My research is mainly in applied mechanics across size scales from material science to structural engineering, with a focus on aerospace, biology and nuclear applications, and a particular interest in computational model credibility, fidelity and validation in relation to digital twins.

Recently, I have coordinated two European Union projects within the Horizon 2020 Clean Sky 2 initiative and, as part of their dissemination programmes, I written a series of posts on these research activities.  You can find them at DIMES [Development of Integrated MEasurement Systems] and MOTIVATE [Matrix Optimization for Testing by Integration of Virtual And Test Environments]; as well as at their websites: integratedtesting.org & engineeringvalidation.org.
