Personal profile

Biography

I am Reader in Infrastructure Engineering. For the last 40 years I have been involved with Civil Engineering courses at Ulster University. I now teach subjects including highway engineering and geology. My Doctor of Philosophy considered the Laboratory Prediction of Surfacing Aggregate Performance. I have been involved with the supervision of many post-graduate students and have over 200 academic publications related to road construction materials. I have worked with road authorities, consultants and industry both locally, nationally and internationally. I have travelled extensively presenting at conferences, short courses and seminars. My research aims to better understand and predict. I am interested in the tyre / road interface, evolution of race track grip and 3D modelling of the surface at different texture scales.  I am a member of BSI committees dealing with road surface characteristics, High Friction surfacing and manholes.
