Personal profile
Research Statement
I graduated from the University of Oxford in 1992 with a PhD in Materials Science after completing a Bachelor degree at Tsinghua University, Beijing. I then joined Imperial College as a postdoctoral research assistant and am now a professor at Queen’s University Belfast. I have never been out of a university since 1981 except for a six-month period in 1997 when seconded to the Steel Construction Institute as a consultant engineer. I have been thoroughly enjoying this academic career though, having authored more than 360 scientific papers and 5 books. I am a Fellow of The Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining and a Fellow of The Institute of Metal Finishing, and was winner of Engineering Employers’ Federation Trophy and the Royal Academy of Engineering Global Research Award.
