As an experienced mechanical engineer with industrial experience, I am particularly interested in applied research and the impact it can have upon industry practice. Topics of research interest and activity include additive manufacture, the engineering design process, and manufacturing/engineering management aspects such as six sigma.
Research interests include additive manufacture, engineering design, and manufacturing management including 6 sigma.
