Michael is a University Teacher whose work is focussed upon Biomaterials and Bioengineering. He joined the department in 2019, from Multidisciplinary Engineering Education (MEE) at The University of Sheffield where he taught and developed Bio- related engineering lab classes. In his MEE role he set up both of the Bioengineering labs in The Diamond building (https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/engineering/diamond) as well as the bioreactors in the pilot plant. He managed technical resources and staff.
Prior to this he was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Oncology department of The University of Sheffield Medical School investigating drug resistance mechanisms in cancer. He was awarded his PhD from the department of The University of Sheffield Molecular Biology and Biotechnology in 2009.
He has also held project management roles in Research Offices at The University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam as well as research related Technical roles in Westlake Scientific Consulting and the Virology department at The University of Reading.
