Qualification areas :-

BEng in Mechanical Engineering (First Class Honours)

MSc in Advanced Mechanical Engineering (with Distinction)

PhD in Computer-aided Systems Engineering
(Thesis : Measurement and reconstruction of complex shapes)

Services :-

Given a component and instruction about the geometric
aspects of interest, the objective will be to implement
precise 3D measurement and reconstruction using the
most accurate equipment and techniques available.
All steps involved will be fully documented. The final
report will provide documentation as to the precise
geometric form of the component and documentary
evidence about how the results were obtained.

Most recent Expert Witness report :-

Prepared for BTG International (who have consented to
this reference). The task was to measure and reconstruct
the precise 3D geometric form of various prosthetic hip
replacement components. The final report now forms part
of two large international patent litigation cases.

Geographical area of work : All of UK
