Background

My role involves:

  • leading the UK's National Gear Metrology Lab (NGML)- a UKAS accredited, Designated Institute (DI) for gear measurement and calibration. NGML is part of the UK's National Measurement System, supported by DSIT.
  • leading gear measurement, design and specification work as part of the Design Unit team.
  • developing and maintaining ISO and BSI standards. I am a member of BSI's MCE/5 technical committee that is responsible for over 100 standards relating to gears and shafts and also a member of ISO TC60 working groups WG2- gear accuracy and WG7 worm gears.
  • supporting the British Gear Association (BGA) Technical Committee
  • delivering BGA and Design Unit training courses and bespoke courses on gear technology.
Research
Transmission technology and gear measurement research.
Teaching
