He has a long list of empirical work in materials science and manufacturing processes ranging from metal casting and sheet metal forming to powder metallurgy and spray forming. The main research is on metal casting and automotive components. He is also an active teacher, and there is a need for a simplistic description of the foundations of a scientific approach. This is commonly seen in the approach and at the start of final year projects where there are gaps in approach and the ability to understand what is proven and what is suspected.
