Academic history § "Study of X-ray topography and Dislocation Dynamics using Synchrotron Radiation Source", School of Physics & Space Science, University of Birmingham, Daresbury Laboratory, 1988. § "Electron and Ion Beam Lithography", Microelectronics Research Centre, Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, 1991. § "Magnetism and Magnetoelastic Sputter-Deposited Thin Films", School of Physics, University of Bath, University Sheffield, 1993. § "Senior MEMS Fabricator ", Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, University of Sheffield, 1995. § "Lecturer in MEMS and Materials Engineering", Micro-Machines Centre, NTU, from 1999. 2. Consultation Short Courses provided in all areas of MEMS, Thin Film Processes, and High vacuum Technology with an emphasis on hands-on expertise. For small and large classes as well as complete novices. 3. Research Interest MEMS, Bio-MEMS, Thin Film Technology, Remote Actuation, Nano-particles, sintering.  Good students (local or international) required for post-graduate study (PhD). I have four possible areas of interest: 1. Accelerometer and gyroscope development. 2. Micro-needles for transdermal drug delivery. 3. Study of thin Polymer Films for Sensor & Actuator Applications. 4. Fluid Dynamics (scholarship provided for the right person!). Click here for details on graduate studies. Pictured above with one of my MEng students at his graduation ceremony. 4. Awards Excellence in Teaching Award for 2004. Nominated again in 2008. 5. Final Year Projects 6. Hobbies  I love Jujitsu and Muay Thai and Muay Boran, as well as distance running (6 km).
