Dr Chris Connor

Assistant Professor

Department: Mechanical and Construction Engineering

As an experienced mechanical engineer with industrial experience, I am particularly interested in applied research and the impact it can have upon industry practice. Topics of research interest and activity include additive manufacture, the engineering design process, and manufacturing/engineering management aspects such as six sigma.
