In 2026, I visited South Korea for the first time to attend the ICAC 2026 conference as a Keynote Speaker in Jinju city. During my visit, I met leading scholars and new friends, and witnessed an ambitious vision for space exploration and aircraft development from a nation that seamlessly blends ancient heritage with modern innovation.

In 2025, our MSc student built a Prusa Mini+ printer in their Group Design Project, and use 3D printed parts to demonstrate their novel aircraft design.

In 2022, we have completed Phase II of the 84-Raspberry-Pi computer cluster. The cluster will support research at the University of the West of England (UWE) in Bristol.

In 2022, I presented my work on "PREDICTING FLEXURAL PROPERTIES OF CARBON FIBRE REINFORCED THERMOPLASTICS SHEET MOULDING COMPOUNDS" in ECCM20 conference in Laussane, Switzerland. This is based on my recent publication in the Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites, in collaboration with the University of Tokyo. It was funded by the Royal Society and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS).

Workshop on Applications of Composites in Extreme Environments & CFRTP-SMC

Speakers from UK, USA, Japan and China discuss exciting topics such as sheet moulding compounds, lightning strikes, trans-laminar fracture beteen 4th and 5th July 2022.

In 2022, I had a successful grant application from the Royal Society to conduct research on “Predicting Forming and Failure of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics Sheet Molding Compound”. My successful grant is part of 5 bids between the UK and Japan in the Royal Society International Exchanges 2021 Cost Share (JSPS) scheme.

In 2021, we have successfully built a 21-Raspberry-Pi cluster with a budget of just £3k. The cluster will serve the students' projects at the University of the West of England (UWE) in Bristol.

In 2018, I presented my paper entitled "Experimental Investigation into TTC Enhancement Effect on Mode II Fracture Energy Using Bi-axial Tests" at the 18th European Conference on Composite Materials in Athens, Greece.

In 2017, I was invited as an external examiner together with Professor Josep Costa (Girona) and Professor Lars Berglund (KTH) for the PhD thesis entitled “Characterization of the translaminar cohesive law” by Mr. Adrián Ortega Novillo at the University de Girona in Spain.

In 2016, I presented my first postdoc work entitled "Predicting debonding and delamination in adhesively bonded T-joints" at the 17th European Conference on Composite Materials in Munich, Germany.

In 2015, I presented our joint paper entitled "On the application of fracture mechanics to a full-scale stiffened composite panel test" in collaboration with Dr Shin-ichi Takeda from JAXA at the V ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on the Mechanical Response of Composites in Bristol, UK.

In 2014, I presented my paper entitled "Predicting the notched strength of large quasi-isotropic composite laminates based on small specimen tests" at the 16th European Conference on Composite Materials in Seville, Spain.

In 2013, I presented my work done at the University of British Columbia entitled "Stacking sequence effects in Over-height Compact Tension tests of quasi-isotropic laminates" at the 19th International Conference on Composite Materials in Montreal, Canada.

In 2012, I was invited to visit the University of British Columbia to carry out “The study of modelling techniques combining the advantages of both detailed modelling of individual damage mechanisms and global modelling of laminate or sub-laminate behavior”, under the supervision of Prof. Anoush Poursartip.

In 2012, I presented my paper entitled "An experimental and numerical investigation of the interaction between splits and edge delaminations in [+20m/-20m]ns carbon/epoxy laminates" at the 15th European Conference on Composite Materials in Venice, Italy.
