Paul is a Lecturer in the Mechanics of Materials Group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London. He solves problems in additive manufacturing (3D printing), high strain-rate material behaviour and structural integrity.

His current research includes:

In-situ process monitoring and integrity
Process-microstructure-performance relationships
Simulation of AM processes
New process development
Lattice structures and architected materials
Design for AM
The behaviour of materials and structures at high rates of deformation (impact, shock and blast loading)
He did his undergraduate degree at the University of Bath and moved to Imperial in 2007 to study for his PhD titled "Blast performance of silicone-bonded laminated glass".

Paul teaches the "Embedded C for Microcontrollers" module on the Mechanical Engineering MEng undergraduate degree program. In 2012 he won the Faculty of Engineering Teaching Assistant award for his contribution to teaching.
