Biography

I am a Research Associate and a member of EPSRC-supported Glasgow Computational Engineering Centre (GCEC). Currently, I am working as PDRA in an EPSRC-supported project (EP/T008415/1) on predictive modelling of Incremental Cold Flow Forming (ICFF), where I continue software development of the MoFEM library. My PhD project, supported by Lord Kelvin and Adam Smith Scholarship, was focused on computational methods to predict and prevent musculoskeletal injury and fatality in the Thoroughbred racehorse. During my PhD, I also supported a project on modelling fracture in irradiated graphite bricks in Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactors in collaboration with industrial partners (EDF Energy and Jacobs). This work led to the submission of an impact case to REF2021.

Research interests

My research interests are on the development of novel approaches for numerical modelling in Computational Mechanics with a particular focus on biomechanics, fracture mechanics, modelling of complex manufacturing processes and High Performance Computing. I am a senior developer at MoFEM team, where I foster sustainable software development practices.
