Biography
I was awarded a BSc(Eng) in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Aberdeen. I studied for my PhD in power ultrasonics in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Loughborough University, where I was subsequently appointed as a Lecturer in dynamics in 1990. In 1996 I joined the University of Glasgow where I was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 1998, Reader in 2003 and Professor in 2006. I am currently Professor of Ultrasonics and Head of Systems, Power & Energy Division in the School of Engineering.
Research interests
My research background is in vibration analysis and my main field of research is in power ultrasonics within the Dynamics Group. Power ultrasonics defines an area of research where ultrasonic energy, at low ultrasonic frequencies (from around 20 kHz up to 100 kHz) and high power (from tens of Watts up to several kiloWatts), is used to effect a desirable change in a medium. The research is aimed at the design of novel high power ultrasonic tools and devices that offer advantages over conventional tooling. The fundamental research is in identifying, modelling and characterising the mechanisms of ultrasonic assistance in a particular application. I have been involved in a wide range of research projects in power ultrasonics, including cutting of hard human tissue for surgical applications, cutting of food products, forming of metals and soft solids, joining of similar and dissimilar materials, and bacterial inactivation. I have current research projects on the development of ultrasonic orthopaedic surgical devices, design of an ultrasonic drill for sampling rocks from Mars and other planetary missions, and using ultrasonics in metal forming processes. Research currently focuses on three key integrating activities: characterising the linear and nonlinear vibration responses of ultrasonic devices; modelling the interaction between the ultrasonic device and the medium it interacts with; and design and evaluation of ultrasonic devices.
