Personal profile

Biography

I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Civil Engineering and Surveying at the University of Portsmouth.

Prior to my current position I worked for Arup as a Graduate Structural Engineer, Alan Wood & Partners as an Engineer, and Avize as a Principal Engineer.

I spent three years (2012-15) undertaking a PhD in blast effects on steel structures at the University of Southampton.
