| Biography | As an “Engineering University Teacher” at the “University of Salford”, I am dedicated to shaping the future of Mechanical Engineering education. Having earned a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (Manufacturing and Production), my research breakthroughs have centred on thermal-based forming of metallic sheets, challenging conventional methods (2011 - 2016). In my previous role as a post-doc “Research Fellow” at the “University of Strathclyde” (2022 - 2023), I led groundbreaking research in "Process Modelling for Metal Deformation Involving High Plasticity". Our work, published in reputable journals, significantly contributes to pushing the boundaries of mechanical engineering knowledge. My research focuses on specific domains, including (1) the thermo-mechanical forming process of sheet metals and metal-matrix composites, (2) analysis and optimization of conventional manufacturing processes (encompassing flow forming, deep drawing, hot metal gas forming, rubber pad forming, incremental forming, roll forming, and tube hydroforming), (3) mechanical characterization of composites/nano-composite materials, and (4) the analysis of machining processes. I am proud to be endorsed as a “Global Talent” by the “Royal Academy of Engineering” in 2022, recognizing my impactful contributions to the field. In my role as a university teacher, my goal is to instil a profound understanding of Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing principles. With an extensive background as an “Assistant Professor” (2014 – 2022), I bring years of teaching experience to my current position, delivering diverse modules such as (1) Mechanical Systems, (2) Mechanics of Materials, (3) Non-destructive Testing, (4) Material Science, (5) Principals of Metal Forming, and more. I implement innovative methodologies, including project-based learning and industry collaboration, to provide students with a comprehensive and industry-relevant education. By integrating the latest industry trends into the curriculum, I aim to bridge the gap between academia and industry, preparing our graduates for success in the modern engineering landscape. As of 2024, I continue to push the boundaries of knowledge and application, strategically positioned to redefine the educational landscape. |
