I obtained my PhD in Materials Engineering from School of Engineering & Innovation at The Open University, UK. In November-2014, I joined Faculty of Engineering and Environment and Computing, Coventry University as a Research Fellow and have been promoted to Assistant Professor in Aug-2019. My research centres around structural integrity and damage tolerance assessment of additive manufactured materials through novel experimentations with a particular focus on fundamental understanding of the microstructure-mechanical properties and performance relationship. Alongside, I am also an active user of neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction facilities in UK and across Europe to underpin the influence of residual stress on damage development under cyclic loading conditions. In NEWAM project, I am responsible to investigate microstructure-mechanical properties relation under static and cyclic loading conditions and the influence of residual stress on fatigue crack growth.
