I am a Senior Lecturer in Engineering in the School of Computing and Engineering. In 2012, I obtained my PhD from University of Bath and was appointed as a postdoctoral researcher for three years until 2015, working on EU projects ‘Dematerialisation of machine tools' and STEPMAN. Before I joined Huddersfield in 2020, I was a Senior lecturer in Design and Manufacturing. I specialise in manufacturing informatics and the integration between manufacturing systems.

The research I have pursued has been primarily concerned with topics in the area of manufacturing, with particular emphasis on manufacturing informatics and technology. I have worked on different projects from EU and EPSRC. My PhD research was on process knowledge capture from machine part programs. A novel universal process comprehension method was proposed, which was expanded and successfully secured an EU FP7 project STEPMAN with European partners. As a postdoctoral research associate in Bath, I have been working on another two projects DEMAT and CRYOSIS as well. The DEMAT project investigated the design and development of a dematerialised machine tools and life-cycle information sharing platform. CRYOSIS looked into using a cryogen in place of conventional coolants to machine difficult-to-cut materials. My research publications can be found at the end of this document.

My research interests include manufacturing system integration, CAPP, knowledge management in manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing, cloud manufacturing, big data, STEP-NC etc.
