Andrew's research focuses on advanced materials, particularly with regards to the solidification processing of metals far from equilibrium (rapid solidification). He has published more than 130 papers on his theoretical and experimental research, studies of industrial process optimisation during powder production, the development of multi-scale models for the prediction of microstructure evolution in metals particularly during rapid quenching as would be experienced in metal atomisation processes. Andrew is a co-investigator on LiME, the EPSRC Future Manufacturing Hub in Liquid Metal Engineering.  He is a Fellow of the Institute of Materials,  Minerals and Mining.
