This project generated over £200 Mio economic impact for the region. He also directs the EPSRC part-funded, £2.2 Mio industrial doctoral training centre MATTER (Manufacturing Advances Through Training Engineering Researchers), in which future engineering leaders will carry out collaborative research work with industry and will graduate with a doctorate. All his projects involve extensive collaboration with industry in the face of a rapidly changing technology base.
