Biography
Tim (BEng CEng MIMechEFHEA) is Professor of Fluid Mechanics and acted as Head of Department of Mechanical& Energy Systems Engineering until July 2021. He is also Deputy Director ofthe IRC in Polymer Engineering and Manager of their Materials Characterisationlaboratories.
His main researchinterests are in the effects of flow upon materials development for polymericand pharmaceutical applications. His current work involves the application ofoptical, spectroscopic, neutron and x-ray probes to soft matter andpharmaceuticals undergoing deformation and crystallisation to elucidate theeffects of shear on structure and its influence on processing and end productproperties. He is a frequent user of large-scale international neutron andx-ray facilities in the UK, France and the US to aid with these studies.
He holds a first degree inMechanical Engineering and a PhD in Fluid Mechanics from the University ofSurrey for his work on turbulent boundary layers and wakes. Following this hemoved to Bradford to work projects on cyclonic two-phase separations for thebrewing and oil industries prior to working on the two large EPSRC fundedMicroscale Polymer Processing programmes.
He has many active linkswith industry and academia in the fields of polymer processing andpharmaceutics and holds three patents in these areas.
He has supervised 13 PhDand 2 MPhil students to completion and currently supervises four PhD studentsin the fields of fluid mechanics, hydrogels and pharmaceutical processing. Hewas awarded the University’s Baroness Lockwood Award for Distinguished Teachingin 2010 and was especially pleased to be awarded Lecturer of the Year in theinaugural UBU Student Leadership Awards in 2019.
Tim has published over 50peer-reviewed journal papers as well as over 100 conference papers in polymerscience, engineering, separations technology and aerodynamics.
