    Personal profile

    Research Profile

    I am a professor (UK Reader) at University of Aberdeen. I am currently deputy programme lead for UG mechanical engineering and also employability coordinator for the school of engineering.I am also a member of advanced manufacturing leadership group as part of scottish research partnership in engineering. I have been a university wide committee member which devise the employability framework for the students.

    Previously, I have worked at Max-Planck Institute for Metal Research (Germany), Robert BOSCH GmbH (Germany), SKF GmbH (Germany), University of Sheffield (UK), NED University (Pakistan), KAUST (KSA), University of Strathclyde (UK), and Advanced Forming Research Centre (UK). I have authored/co-authored more than 80 technical papers in refereed journals and conferences. I holde a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from University of Stuttgart, Germany. I am also a Fellow of Higher Education Academy of UK, a Chartered Engineer and a member of IMechE UK.

    My research has been focused on multiscale mechanics of materials, structures and manufacturing processes which include

    • data driven computational mechanics
    • machine learning based constitutive modelling
    • advanced manufacturing
    • integrity assessment
    • deformation and failure in materials and their interfaces 
    • residual stress measurement and predictions
    • renewable energy systems
    • stress corrosion cracking

    My overall grant portfolio as a PI includes a number of research council funded projects, in addition I have been a Co-I on a number of projects funded by different industries. Some of my articles have been in the list of hottest articles on Elsevier and ASME lists. One of my articles had been in the list of most cited papers in Mechanics of Materials. I have also delivered many invited talks on different industrial and academic forums.
