Ben leads the Engineering Systems Design and Innovation group (http://www.esdi.ac.uk) comprising 27 academics and over 70 fulltime researchers working across seven themes: Bionics, Bioengineering and Biomanufacturing; Design Technologies; Design Thinking; Digital Manufacturing; Energy Systems; Infrastructure Systems; and, Systems Thinking.
In addition to leading the ESDI division, Ben is Founder and CoDirector of the Design & Manufacturing Futures Laboratory (http://www.dmf-lab.co.uk). The lab is researching and creating the tools and technologies of tomorrow, providing game changing capability for the design, manufacture, operation and disposal of next generation products and machines. Projects include: constraint-based and topological optimisation; engineering project health monitoring; tangible interfaces and mixed media prototyping; augmented and mixed-reality; fabricative, additive and subtractive technologies; democratisation of design and manufacture; digital-physical twinning and revision control; and, manufacturing systems of the future.
Ben’s research focuses on product, machine and manufacturing system design. His major research contributions lie in four areas:
