Overview
Emmanuel is a Professor at Cardiff School of Engineering. He is also the Head of Teaching for the Department of Mechanical and Medical Engineering within the School. His current research interest lies in the field of advanced manufacturing technologies with a specific focus on nano mechanical machining (i.e. AFM probe-based) and micro thermal machining (i.e laser-based). He teaches mathematics for the first year Mechanical and Medical Engineering students (module EN1090 "Engineering Analysis"). He is also responsible for the delivery of CAD labs and for the supervision of individual and group projects on BEng, MEng and MSc courses. He received a Teaching of the Year award in 2017 for the module EN1090 "Engineering Analysis" and was shortlisted for an Enriching Student Life Award in 2022 in the category of Most Innovative Staff Member of the Year.
Prior to his first appointment as a Lecturer in 2012, he was the recipient of a five-year Academic Fellowship from the Research Councils UK. Emmanuel has published more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific papers (including over 60 journal papers), principally in the area of micro and nano manufacturing. .
Emmanuel has secured, as Principal Investigator (PI), research income for a total value of £1.2m. This includes three EPSRC Grants (EP/I012133/1, EP/M020703/1 and EP/T01489X/1). He has also been co-investigator on projects worth £1.1m, which comprise two EPSRC grants (EP/F056745/1 and EP/K031635/1). Finally, he has also served as acting PI on two FP7 projects (MULTILAYER and POLARIC) for a combined value of £1.1m.
