A proven problem solver with over 15 years experience across a wide range of industries. An expert in engineering simulation and modeling with a track record in turning R&D into practical solutions to help solve real-world challenges.
Experience
Following a degree in Mechancial Engineering and a PhD in fracture mechanics and probability, Simon moved into a career in engineering consultancy. More than a decade later, he is still finding no shortage of new problems to tackle.
He is particularly interested in helping customers identify the right route through their problems, using his broad experience to make use of learning and tools from other industries and sectors.
Creation of a design and simulation approach for wood laminate structures for the luxury car market. Dramatically reducing manufacturing rework and increasing part through put.
Developing probabilistic creep-fatigue lifing tools to support nuclear safety cases for the UKs AGR fleet, justifying continued operation.
Statistical analysis to assess risk in offshore composite repairs. Helping operators prioritise limited inspection and maintenance resource to gain the greatest safety benefit.
Development of physics based digital twins for subsea and gas turbine applications. Allowing operators to combine measurement and real time simulation to provide live monitoring of asset health.
