Biography
I am a Reader in Mechanical Engineering 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 multi-body systems.
