Teaching
My teaching interests primarily focus on the theory and practical implementation of sustainable design and manufacturing for the MEng and MSc courses in Design, Manufacture and Engineering Management. I am also involved in teaching design, design and engineering applications, mechatronics design and applications, and advanced materials and production technology. I also supervise a number of students in individual projects.
Research Interests
My research is interdisciplinary, spanning across engineering, business, to the social and applied sciences. The long term goal of my cross-disciplinary research is to continue furthering knowledge in sustainable production, specialising in developing concepts, tools and techniques to facilitate sustainable design and manufacture through remanufacture. Remanufacturing has recently become globally critical because of its great potential to address environmental concerns (need to reduce waste during the material extraction and manufacturing processes), legislation (international agreement to reduce products鈥 and manufacturing processes鈥 environmental impacts) and economics (remanufacture is often a quality and cost effective option). However, there is a paucity of remanufacturing understanding, information, publications, as well as tools and techniques. I currently lead the UK's largest remanufacturing research group, specialising in holistic, interdisciplinary, practitioner-based research. In the long term I intend to further develop, and build the capacity, of my research team in the area of sustainable design and manufacture through remanufacture.

- Since 2019, I have had a partnership with Rematec, (the world鈥檚 largest remanufacturing Exhibition) for sponsorship of the ICoR conference series, at over 鈧15,000 per ICoR occurrence. The sponsorship covers provision by Rematec for ICoR fully equipped conference accommodation for up to 250 persons plus associated marketing. This indicated in the attached agreement under 鈥渃onference鈥 and "Marketing" in the attached agreement which was signed in 2019.

- The ReMake Glasgow project is developing a first-of-its-kind national ReMake hub within the NMIS Digital Factory. The hub will provide the skills and technologies needed to support ambitious manufacturers of all sizes to adopt circularity and extend the life of products and parts.
The aim is to achieve a 99% reduction in CO2 compared to manufacturing from new through processes such as remanufacturing, refurbishing and repairs.
With under 2% of products manufactured in the UK currently designed and reused in this way, the ReMake hub is set to advance sustainable manufacturing by supporting companies to move towards a circular economy.
Partners in this project are:
- Boeing UK
- British Airways
- SSE Renewables
- James Howden & Company Ltd
- ATS
- Renewable Parts Ltd - 01-Jan-2023 - 31-Jan-2025
