specialised in Precision processing of ?difficult to cut materials?, free form shapes, coating deposition techniques like Diamond like carbon films, surface metrology, and material characterisation. I?ve been looking into developing hybrid and sequential techniques to machine challenging materials like steel, silicon, glass, silicon carbide, tungsten etc with the highest possible precision attainable by bulk techniques. In particular, much of my research to date has been about trying to create ?digital twins? of these very fine ultra-precision machining and characterisation processes. Recently, I?ve teamed up with colleagues at Cranfield to use my Precision Engineering knowledge to combat the current challenges associated with Detector materials for improving the performance of PET imaging systems (EP/S013652/1) that will benefit the mankind with due support of the UK?s apex funding council EPSRC.
