My passion is in two areas:
1. applied research (sustainable manufacturing practices) whileÌýmy expertise area is inÌýmaterials development, process improvement, process development and implementation.ÌýMy current research interests are in process optimisation and improvement in industry-linked projects. These projects include advanced material development with a focus onÌýnanoparticles and surface treatment,Ìýcharacterisation at laboratory, pilot scale levelÌýthrough toÌýindustrial scale-up.

2. engineering education with a focus on authentic learning practices including Project-Based Learning, Team-Based Learning, Work-Integrated Learning and Generative Artificial Intelligence.
