Richard graduated from the University of Sheffield with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering in 1994. Following three years as a postdoctoral researcher working in Experimental Mechanics, he joined the Experimental Stress Analysis group at Airbus in Bristol where he developed and implemented a variety of optical stress and deformation measurement techniques for structural testing. During this time, he sponsored many postgraduate research projects and led the development of the Structures Test R&D strategy for Airbus, as well as managing the associated trans-national test programme.
Having followed a postgraduate training pathway, Richard delivered technical solutions in his field of expertise, with a focus on the usual business challenges of optimising cost, time and quality. He understands the value of collaborative engagement well, and during his career at Airbus, alongside chairmanship of the British Society for Strain Measurement, he fostered the development of stronger links between industry, academia and related technical societies – he is a strong believer in the industrial application of high-level academic research and skills.
As Director of the PGI, Richard continues to fulfil his passion for industry and academic collaboration. It is an ideal platform for postgraduate training, leading to the development of extremely desirable skills and capabilities that the benefit industry and academia alike, but most importantly, because they enhance the career prospects for postgraduate researchers.
