Dr Daniel Paul
Research Fellow
Summary
Daniel is a Research Fellow at Brunel Composites Centre (BCC) and joined the group in December 2023. He is actively involved in idea generation, leading and assisting projects, publication of papers and other dissemination activities.Before joining BCC, Daniel has worked primarily on composite testing and modelling with research experience in impact and crashworthiness analysis. He has also worked on repair of composite wind turbine blades and was involved in computational modelling of the composite cure process and post-repair residual stress estimation.
