Working in the glass industry since 2002, initially in mechanical testing / analysis, Dave now focusses on the development of new testing methods, novel forming techniques and process automation.
Before leaving the US to pursuing further study in Advanced Material (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne) and a degree in Instrumentation and Analytical Science (University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology), Dave completed a variety of industrial internships and fixed-term contracts involved with materials analysis and testing. The breadth of this experience, spanning aerospace, medical device and semi-conductor industries, proved invaluable given the wide range of applications of glass.
