Biography
I currently hold a Senior Lectureship in Materials Modelling and Design at the University of Edinburgh, UK. My activities and interests are in the fields of biomimetic design, mechanical metamaterials and composites engineering. I research a number of different biological organisms from a structure-properties perspective, and am active in developing mechanical materials and systems.
