Research group

Computer-Aided Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering (CA²M)

Dr Curiel-Sosa leads the CA²M which is a research group based at the University of Sheffield.

The group investigate within a wide range of topics including:

Computational analyses of nonlinear structures (composites, FGM, piezoelectric, elastic-plastic)
Computational aerodynamics: active flow control, transonic buffet
Innovative aerospace designs and systems
Failure assessment and prediction of damage (fracture, fatigue, delamination)
Contribution to the advancement of methodologies for Aeroelasticity (flutter, divergence, control reversal, unsteady aerodynamics, energy harvesting)

Completed PhD's (as 1st supervisor)

[2015-2018] Dr Nur Azam bin Abdullah, with the thesis title “Numerical Modelling of Fracture and Aeroelasticity in Fluttering Composite Structures for Aerospace Applications”.

[2013-2017] Dr Behrooz Tafazzolimoghaddam with the thesis title “Computational Mechanics of Fracture and Fatigue on Composite Laminates by means of XFEM and CZM”

Long Term Research Projects and Technology Transfer Projects

Teaching activities

Jose’s learning and teaching approach is best described as project-based and research-led. Project-based learning is recognised as very effective for the development of professional skills in engineering students, aligning effectively learning outcomes to those skills. In his Aircraft Design module, students work cooperatively to design an aircraft concept, encouraging the incorporation of recent innovations from the aeronautical sector. Short period activities are embedded within his lectures to promote student interaction, critical thinking and problem-solving, making use of learning technology –e.g. audience response systems- to communicate and receive feedback from students in real time.

Strategies to improve inclusivity of all students independently of their background or origin is an area he is keen on finding new teaching methods to enhance it. Thus, he created the Aircraft Design Café in which informal discussions on this and any matters of interest for students can be raised. He has consistently received high scores for his learning and teaching strategy, which has led to several award nominations for teaching and doctoral supervision.

Jose is recognised as a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. He acts as assessor for the Learning and Teaching Professional Recognition Scheme (LTPRS) at TUOS. LTPRS follows the UK Professional Standards Framework to acknowledge success in Higher Education.
