  Pic Prof Richard HallProfessor Richard Hall

 
 is the director of the Midlands Simulation Group and has specific expertise in the area of  Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of materials deformation and failure; and, the design optimisation of both tools and products.

He is also Chief Editor and copyright owner of the International Journal of Engineering Simulation (IntJES.co.uk)

 

  Pic Julian SpenceJulian Spence

 
  is the Senior Research Fellow of the Midlands Simulation Group and has specific expertise developing methods for FEA - both for design and manufacture.
His current work is focused on the manufacturing of cellular materials with hierarchical structure - for both lightweighting and ballistic performance. He also has set up and manages the HPC Beowulf cluster for FEA modeling and CFD, using the parallelised numerical software and the advanced eScience video and remote collaboration systems.
Other work focuses on the development of  cellular vacuum insulation and the superplastic forming and diffusion bonding manufacturing processes.

 

  Pic Nwabueze EmekwuruNwabueze Emekwuru

 
  is the Research Fellow of the Midlands Simulation Group and has experience modeling and simulating fluid flow (CFD). He has developed his expertise to include the inclusion of heat transfer and the design of advanced heat exchangers.
Other work focuses on the design of microfluidic self pumping materials and the integration of wind turbines into the built environment.
  In addition he is assisting in the development of research projects and manages the review process of the International Journal of Engineering Simulation (IntJES.co.uk) .

 

  Pic Abdul NoibiAbdul Noibi

 
  is a researcher in the Midlands Simulation Group with expertise in FEA and the multi-body kinematic simulations and animations (using the ADAMS software). These he has applied to a variety of light weight structures - from cement lorries to saddles; employing  laminate composite technologies.
