Research interests are:
- Design process management and education: Implementing information sharing activities in engineering design teaching between the Universities of Bath and Canterbury; Web-based system for managing engineering design projects is being developed to improve information sharing efficiency between geographically dispersed engineering designers.
- Design for people with impaired arm strength: design studies for people with tetraplegia and other arm strength reducing illnesses; studying people with C5/C6 tetraplegia, pre and post muscle transfer surgery, to determine the effect on their ability to propel a wheelchair (in conjunction with Professor Alastair Rothwell, Jeniffer Dunn and the Canterbury Orthopaedic Services research group).
- Design of flexible vibrating structures: using dimensionless formulae to study the influence of design parameters and increasing size on structural properties; mathematical studies to predict the vibratory response of flexible structures.
