Lecturer, researcher and consultant in system dynamics and control, including vibro-acoustics, finite element analysis & modal analysis.
My research involves the study of dynamic mechanical systems, especially those systems involving energy transfer via wave propagation. This involves length scales from the atomistic to large ocean waves. A select number of research topics are listed below. Please see the Acoustics, Vibration and Control Group website for a complete list of published works, active projects and research areas. The Robotics Group website also details projects in the fields of robotics and control.
Sound and Vibration
I have worked in the field of sound and vibration for two and a half decades, both as a consulting engineer and as a researcher, and covers both active and passive forms of noise control, aeroacoustics, vibroacoustics, thermoacoustics and vibration isolation.
Ocean Energy
I am currently research several mechanisms for generating useful forms of energy from oceans. These can be broadly classified as either wave energy converters or oscillating cylinders in low speed flows. The wave energy converters of interest are oscillating water columns and point (buoy) absorbers. For more information see the Wave Energy Research Group website.
Dynamics and Control
I am fascinated by the control of dynamic systems. Current research includes the control of energy converters, dynamically unstable mobile platforms, and parallel and serial manipulators. For more information see the AVC Group website or the Robotics Group website.

Subjects Taught
I am currently responsible for teaching two control automatic control subjects; Dynamics and Control II and Advanced PID Control. Dynamics and Control II is focussed on understanding and controlling dynamic systems from a state space perspective. Advanced PID control, as the name suggests, is focussed on developing PID control skills within a theoretical and practical framework.
One key interest for teaching is the development of physical platforms to demonstrate control theory. These include the Quanser Aerospace Systems, the Ball and Beam System, the Quanser Tightrope Walker, the Inverted Pendulum, and many others.
