Biography

I graduated with a BSc in Civil Engineering from the University of Cape Town (UCT) in 1998. I completed my MSc in the Centre for Research in Computational and Applied Mechanics (CERECAM) in 2000. After working for a year as a civil engineer, I returned to UCT as a researcher in the Centre for Minerals Research developing and validating numerical models for granular flow. In 2004, I began a PhD under Daya Reddy (CERECAM). My PhD investigated finite element formulations for non-classical models of plasticity developed to capture scale effects. After graduating in 2008, I continued in CERECAM as a research officer.

I began my post-doctoral studies in 2010 with Paul Steinmann at the Chair of Applied Mechanics, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg. The focus of my research was on non-classical models of diffusion, mechanics of surfaces and interfaces, and homogenization. 

I returned to Cape Town in 2012 as a senior researcher in CERECAM. 

I started as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Glasgow in January 2016. Since 2021, I have been a Professor of Computational Mechanics. 

I head the Infrastructure & Environment Research Division and chair the Engineering Growth Estates Group. I'm also the deputy director of the Glasgow Computational Engineering Centre (GCEC) and Associate Head of the James Watt School of Engineering. 

Research interests

My research interests are in the broad area of Computational Mechanics. I aim to deliver insights into challenging scientific and engineering problems using numerical modelling. Of particular interest is the simulation of complex materials at different length scales. This will often involves accounting for coupled physics. 

I work with industry (Rolls-Royce, Terumo Aortic) on the modelling of engineering and biological materials. 

I'm an advocate of high-quality open-source modelling tools and the communities that support them. Excellent examples of such code including those listed here.

Many of my research interests align with those of the Glasgow Computational Engineering Centre (GCEC)
