About me

Saber completed his MSc (2011) and PhD (2015) in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bristol. He studied the structural integrity of parent and welded components at various operating conditions, and he developed deep skill sets on experimental procedures, followed by modelling techniques (Finite Element Method).

He then moved to Advance Forming Research Centre (AFRC) and National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) where he worked on various manufacturing technologies for different applications. Saber took various responsibilities in AFRC/ NMIS which he was involved with various projects which he gained a valuable experience around the latest manufacturing technological developments. In his last role, he was actively involved with Through-life Engineering Services (TES) and was looking at product life cycle in different sectors.

During his academic and professional career, Saber accomplished a variety of projects in different sectors (e.g. aerospace, automotive, renewables, energy and Oil&Gas) and gained a great understanding of each sector's demand and operational procedures. This gave Saber an exceptional awareness of product life cycle, from design and manufacturing to life assessment, and from operation to the end-of-life.

In early 2021, after years of industrial engagement, Saber joined academia and was appointed as a Lecturer in Principal Engineering in Aerospace Department at the university of the West of England (UWE).  

To the present, Saber has contributed to define and shape several academic and industrial bids (around £4m) to various funding bodies and organisations. Saber is chartered project manager (PMI), chartered mechanical engineer (IMechE) and he is also the representative of UWE in the UK Forum for Engineering Structural Integrity (FESI). All these activities made Saber very enriched with industrial connections and networks in various sectors.

Saber's active research areas are: Conventional and Digital Manufacturing, Structural Integrity and Life Assessment, Numerical Methods and Finite Element Method (FEM), Through-life Engineering Services (TES), End-of-Component's Life, Repair and Maintenance, and Re-Manufacturing.   

I am currently open to new PhD students in the above areas.
