Overview
I have worked at Cardiff University since 2008, where I am currently Reader in Manufacturing Systems Management, and am Deputy Head of the Logistics and Operations Management Section (Postgraduate). I am co-chair of Cardiff University RemakerSpace, chair of the Year 2 Examination Boards for Business Management and Economic programmes, and have held Chartered Engineer status since 2013.
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 examiner at three other UK universities.
