Biography

I was awarded my PhD from the University of Glasgow in 2014, on Nitinol cymbal transducers for tuneable ultrasonic devices. I then undertook postdoctoral research into sub-sea ultrasonic exploration technology, investigating the influence of ultrasonics on different sub-sea geological materials. In 2016, I joined the Department of Physics, University of Warwick, where I was Research Fellow in the Centre for Industrial Ultrasonics (CIU) until 2020. My research during this period focused on high frequency flexural ultrasonic transducers for operation in a range of liquid and gas measurement environments at elevated pressure and temperature levels (HiFFUT). I am a Chartered Engineer and member of both the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the IEEE, and with membership of the Young Academy of Scotland, Royal Society of Edinburgh.

Research interests

Summary

I lead the Adaptus Research Group, established to realise adaptive ultrasonics and systems for intelligent medical and industrial technologies. The Adaptus Research Group utilises advanced materials including those exhibiting shape memory behaviour and metamaterials, integrating them with a wide range of ultrasonic devices and electro-mechanical systems to control and optimise dynamic performance. My group operates across the Centre for Medical and Industrial Ultrasonics (C-MIU) and the Materials & Manufacturing Research Group (MMRG).

Key Interests

The Adaptus Research Group tackles challenges across the following four key themes:

Theme 1: Shape Memory Alloys and Metamaterials My team has made significant developments in understanding how we can integrate materials such as Nitinol into a range of ultrasonic transducer configurations, including the Langevin and the Class IV and V flextensionals. Published reports demonstrate the ability to control device resonance using precise modulations in temperature or stress, or stable resonance with temperature increases towards 100℃, depending on manufacturing approach. Similarly, our research into metamaterials has yielded significant developments in tuneable acoustic devices, through magnetics.

Theme 2: Biomedical Devices and Systems We are engineering a new range of piezoelectric-based wearable sensors using biodegradable materials, with the aim of removing the need for lead-based bulk piezoelectric ceramics in such devices. We are also investigating a range of devices to meet current healthcare needs, including flextensional ultrasonic transducers with adaptive properties for surgery, and biomedical imaging applications of metamaterials.

Theme 3: Industrial Sensors and Actuators We have expertise in the design and development of acoustic and ultrasonic sensing systems for measurement in a range of fluids, and at fluctuating temperatures (into the hundreds of ℃) and pressures (exceeding 200 bar). Our interests are in developing solutions for in-situ measurement in hostile or challenging environments, including for flow measurement.

Theme 4: Sustainable Manufacturing My team is part of a significant multi-institutional and international drive towards the circular economy, using sonochemistry to facilitate the recovery and recycling of a range of valuable materials from waste electronics and photovoltaic cells. The partnership includes C-MIU's CavLab and the Centre for Sustainable Materials Processing (CSMP) in the School of Chemistry at the University of Leicester.
