Teams and roles for Daniel Eyers
Professor of Manufacturing Systems Management
Director of Quality Assurance & Enhancement
Overview
I have worked at Cardiff University since 2008, where I am Professor of Manufacturing Systems Management and Director of Quality Assurance & Enhancement. I am co-director of Cardiff University RemakerSpace, co-director of the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing Systems, and deputy chair of the Cardiff University-DSV strategic partnership.
My research explores the strategic management of advanced manufacturing and information technologies in contemporary operations management. I have published in the top journals (ABS 4* and FT 50) and have also disseminated my research at leading international conferences. Based on my expertise in Additive Manufacturing (3D printing) I was commissioned to produce an edited book by Palgrave Macmillan (published 2020).
Prior to joining Cardiff Business School I gained commercial experience in a range of specialist manufacturing industries, and therefore particularly enjoy working on applied research projects with industrial partners. To-date I have attracted research income exceeding £2.5m, comprised of funds from research councils, Welsh Government, and industry.
Teaching is a particularly enjoyable and rewarding element of my role at Cardiff Business School, where I have lectured on a wide variety of operations management themes for undergraduate, postgraduate, and executive audiences. I supervise MSc and MBA students in their master dissertations, and also PhD students in the conduct of their doctoral research. I am particularly interested in the design of academic programmes and their assessment for effective learning. At Cardiff I sit on the university’s programme approval & revalidation sub-committee, and I am also an external advisor for Open University.
