I have recently completed a PhD in Mechanical Engineering in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Bath University. I work with Prof. C .Budd and Prof.G .Hunt on the development of models for layered structures. This has many applications in nonlinear mechanics, geology and more recently the design of light weight composite materials.
My thesis title is Multilayered folding with constraints (click here).
At the beginning of October I am starting a post-doc position, spending time at both GKN Filton and the University of Bath, researching the manufacturing of composite materials.
