Meet The Team
Research Cluster Leader
Assoc. Prof. Diogo Montalvão
With interests in Experimental Modal Analysis, Advanced Materials, and Fatigue testing, Diogo is an Associate Professor in Structural Dynamics and the Head of Department of Design and Engineering at Bournemouth University. Whether as a Researcher or a Leader, he loves shaking things up.
Structural Dynamics and Advanced Materials
Dr. Sina Safari
Sina is a PDRA (Post-Doc Research Assistant). He is at the heart of all ADDISONIC activities. No challenge is too big for him, and he has a particular passion for nonlinear dynamics and computational and mathematical modeling.
Advanced Materials
Assoc. Prof. Amor Abdelkader
With a PhD from the University of Cambridge, Amor is at ease with all exotic materials from self-healing materials to graphene. He can talk about the latest advances in materials science with passion and expertise, and he's always excited to share his knowledge with others.
Optimisation in Design and Engineering
Prof. Philip Sewell
Phil's interests span design simulation and modeling, mechanics of materials, artificial intelligence, and medical engineering. His holistic approach to engineering and research is essential for identifying the optimal solutions to engineering challenges.
M&C
Assoc. Prof. Gelareh Roushan
Gelareh is Associate Professor in Marketing and has recently been appointed as Bournemouth University's Head of Centre for Excellence in Learning. She is is a digital innovation trailblazer and educational leader, empowering ADDISONIC to transform the way we learn and work.
3D Visualisation
Alain Simons
Alain excels in Games Technology, specialising in 3D Modeling, texturing, lighting, and animation. His knowledge is instrumental for the development of new ways to visualise deformation and crack growth at very high speed.
Engineering Materials Characterisation
Assoc. Prof. Yi Huang
Yi's goal is to understand the relationship between the microstructure and mechanical properties of advanced materials in order to develop new materials with improved performance for engineering applications and to optimise manufacturing processes for high-value production.
Additive Manufacturing
Abigail Batley
Abi Batley has extensive experience in additive manufacturing, Key Shot rendering, and prototyping. She has held several notable positions in industry with renowned organisations such as The RNLI, Drilling Systems, and STYLIDEAS (formally AvenTOM).
