Carl Scarth

Dr Carl Scarth is a Researcher in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath. His work focuses on data-driven methods for composite aircraft structures, addressing uncertainties, manufacturing defects, and process features. Key research areas include uncertainty quantification, machine learning, composite design, and aeroelasticity.

• Education: MEng in Engineering Design with study in industry from the University of Bristol (2010), specialising in structural mechanics and nonlinear dynamics; PhD in Advanced Composites from ACCIS CDT (2017), sponsored by Embraer.

Carl's research applies Bayesian methods and finite element analysis to optimize composite aerospace components. Notable projects include the EPSRC ADAPT and CerTest programme grants, targeting high-rate manufacturing defect reduction and experimental-numerical data fusion. His collaborations span Embraer, Swansea University, and EPFL.
