DIRECTORS

Dr Ed Kingston – Managing Director

Ed Kingston first started working on the DHD Technique in 1997 when studying for his MEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bristol. He went on to further his DHD research at the University by carrying out his PhD entitled “Advances in the DHD Technique for Residual Stress Measurement”.

During his PhD, Ed was the lead researcher managing and running the day-to-day activities of the University’s DHD laboratory.

After completing his PhD, Ed co-founded VEQTER Ltd in May 2004 with Prof. David Smith.

Professor David Smith – Non-Executive Director

David Smith has been responsible for the development of the DHD technique for over 12 years and has supervised the development of the unique test facility at the University of Bristol using the technology.

He is currently the Director of Engineering Research at the University and also the Professor of Engineering Materials within its Department of Mechanical Engineering.

David was awarded his degree in Marine Engineering from the University of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne before carrying out his PhD at the Imperial College of Science and Technology in London. David then spent 4 years at The Welding Institute before starting at the University of Bristol in 1988.

Professor Chris Truman – Non-Executive Director

Chris Truman has been at the forefront of recent developments at the University of Bristol in residual stress measurement and modelling. On the modelling front, recent work on deep hole drilling measurement simulations has paved the way for a greater understanding of material hardening laws in numerical simulations. On the measurement front, Chris has made extensive use of neutron diffraction to validate advances in both incremental and deep hole drilling.

He is a Professor in Solid Mechanics in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and also an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Fellow (EPSRC) 2005-2010.

Chris was awarded a degree in Physics from Manchester University in 1991, before undertaking part 3 of the mathematics tripos at Cambridge University in 1992, and a PhD in a joint project between Nottingham Trent and Oxford Universities in Stress Analysis in 1997. Chris joined Bristol in 2000 following a lecturing post at Hull University.
