Profile

After completing his A-Levels, Chris spent a year in industry working for the power tools manufacturer, Black & Decker. He was subsequently sponsored by the company through his undergraduate degree, where he studied Mechanical Engineering at Bristol University. Chris continued his research career by obtaining a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and completing two further year’s post-doctoral research at Leeds University.

He has completed over 12 years of postdoctoral research in various departments across the University of Sheffield, and in 2010 joined the AMRC’s Machining Group. Chris has also supervised nine MSc and three EngD students whilst at the AMRC.

Qualifications: PhD in Mechanical Engineering

Research interests: Chris’s research interests include: Machining Science; Metal Cutting; Sustainable Manufacturing; Additive Manufacturing.
