I am the Cardiff Co-lead for the GW4 X-CITED programme. I am programme lead for the Communities of Practice (CoPs) and development of the unique training programme for RTPs. My research technical professional role at Cardiff University is within the School of Chemistry, as an Experimental Officer in High Throughput Catalyst Testing.
I manage the UKCRIC Soil-Foundation-Structure Interaction (SoFSI) and Earthquake and Large Structures (EQUALS) Laboratories in the Faculty of Science and Engineering. My role involves providing technical expertise and support to research projects, including design, project management and construction of large-scale test campaigns.
The two facilities include three seismic shaking tables, reaction walls/floor and a 4m deep soil test pit for soil-structure interaction research.
Prior to joining the University of Bristol in 2021, I held various technical roles at the University of Bath, gaining experience in soils, structural and mechanical testing.
As the Exeter Co-Investigator for the GW4 X-CITED programme, I am responsible for the evaluation of the project’s impact, including that of RTPs’ access to training and professional development, the growth of peer networks and communities, and their capacity and success engaging directly with industrial partners.
At the University of Exeter, I am a Senior Research Software Engineer within the Research Software and Analytics Group. With a decade of experience in medical device software development and a background in Neuroscience, I bring valuable insights from both industry and academia to the X-CITED project.
I am an ambassador for the X-CITED programme in Exeter. At the University of Exeter, I am a Research Software Engineer, working on a range of software projects and training. I have a background in mathematical modelling and acoustics.
