I am a research fellow in the Systems Engineering, Estimation and Decision Support research group in CEMS. My current research interests are related to cost estimation in early design, used to inform decision making in the design process. These interests are also aligned to modelling the inspection process, and the resolution of uncertainty in the inspection process, which formed part of my PhD. A categorised list of research areas follows:

The semantic representation of manufacturing models for the purposes of cost estimation.

The representation and resolution of epistemic uncertainty in manufacturing models.

The automated, modular construction of models.
