معرفی
Dr. Ian Graham is a Lecturer in Engineering Design at Loughborough University, part of the Wolfson School. He holds a BEng (Product Design) and PhD (Evolutionary Design) from Loughborough University. Prior to academia, he worked in automotive engineering (Toyota), portable electronics (GE), and architecture. He joined Loughborough in 2006 as a Research Associate in the School of Civil and Building Engineering, moved to the Design School in 2007 as Senior Research Associate and Enterprise Fellow, and transitioned to the Wolfson School in 2012.
Education:
- BEng in Product Design, Loughborough University
- PhD in Evolutionary Design, Loughborough University
Research Interests: Graham’s work focuses on Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Evolutionary Algorithms, Additive Manufacturing, Remanufacturing, and Haptic Technologies. He explores applications in industrial efficiency, cultural heritage restoration, and product design innovation. His research bridges theoretical design optimization with practical industry challenges, including modular construction, artifact preservation, and sustainable manufacturing.
Articles Trends: His publications emphasize CAD optimization (e.g., parametric model inefficiency analysis), evolutionary design systems, additive manufacturing for art/archaeology, and modular construction case studies. Recent work highlights cost estimation in remanufacturing and haptic sketching interfaces.
Advising & Grants: No specific advisees or grant details are listed in the text, but his roles suggest involvement in research funding and collaborative projects.
Labs/Teams: Founder of EvoShape, developing evolutionary design tools. Active in cross-disciplinary teams within Loughborough’s Wolfson School, focusing on CAD innovation and sustainable manufacturing.
