Professor Samuel Evans
BEng, PhD

Professor

: Available for postgraduate supervision

Sam Evans joined the School in 1996 from the University of Southampton. His research interests are varied and cover various aspects of the deformation and failure of materials, with a particular interest in mechanics of soft materials and nanocomposites. Current projects include the fit of and pressure injuries from respiratory PPE, measurement and prediction of brain movement for surgical navigation, investigation of the mechanics of pressure ulcer formation in the heel, the development of novel antimicrobial bone cements and antimicrobial polymers for medical equipment, and the development of graphene reinforced polymer composites for aerospace applications.

Prof Evans was previously the Head of the School of Engineering, with overall management responsibility for all areas of engineering.
