BIO
Dr Idris Kevin Mohammed (MEng ACGI PhD DIC PGCert FHEA) is a Teaching Fellow for Solid Mechanics Teaching Subject Group (TSG). He lectures on on the ME2 Dynamics modules and is a tutor for ME1 Mechanics, Materials, Stress Analysis & ME2 Dynamics, Materials, Stress Analysis and Design.
Idris graduated from Imperial College London with a MEng degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2007. He then joined the Soft Solids group to pursue a PhD titled “The Mechanical Characterisation of Confectionery Wafers” for which he was awarded the Margaret Fishenden Centenary Memorial Prize. The aim of the project was to predict and simulate the material deformation of confectionery wafers. This was done experimentally, analytically and numerically at both the macroscopic and microscopic level. The published work was the 2013 March finalist for the Robert W. Cahn prize in the Journal of Materials Science.
After obtaining his PhD in 2011, he continued to be a part the Soft Solids group as a Research Associate. The PostDoc research was to design and develop a drug loaded patch for the treatment of fungal infections. Pressure sensitive adhesives were characterised and the material model was implemented into a cohesive zone finite element peeling simulation which calculated the force required for safe removal. Idris was awarded the ‘Best Poster Prize’ at the International Conference on Adhesion 2013 for this work. His other post doctoral research included the thermo-mechanical properties of expoxy encapsulants, micro-modelling of the sintering of powder particles and the microstructural characterisation of crisps.
