“Alison’s primary research speciality is in computational modelling and analysis, applied to engineering structures & materials. This work has included impact analysis of structures, structural vibration, design optimisation, manufacturing process simulation, wave propagation simulations, performance of composite materials, & more recently towards gaining a phenomenological understanding of the role of material properties & material flaws in metal fatigue. Alison leads the CoMManDO Centre.”

Professor Alison McMillan Professor of Aerospace Technology

“Shafiul’s research focuses on deposition of Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) structures for thin film photovoltaic (PV) on a heated moving substrate using atmospheric pressure metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (AP-MOCVD), as part of the Solar Photovoltaic Academic Research Consortium (SPARC) Cymru project, funded by the Lower Carbon Research Institute (LCRI) through the European Convergence Region Programme. Currently Shafiul is exploring the heat transfer and thermal distribution on heat sinks.”
