About Dr Nida Naveed
I am a Senior Lecturer and Vice-Chancellor’s (VC) Research Fellow at the University of Sunderland and have been working in academia and industry for more than 15 years.
Before joining the University, I worked at Newcastle National College Group – NCG, UK as a Programme Leader in Engineering and at The Open University (OU), UK as an Honorary Associate (Researcher) in the Department of Engineering and Innovation. I was also a Research Candidate at OU for MPhil leading to PhD on fully-funded studentships by Rolls Royce Limited, East Midlands Development Agency (EMDA), and OU.
Previously, I was a full-time Lecturer and Assistant Professor at NED University of Engineering and Technology, Pakistan.
I did my PhD in Materials Engineering from the Department of Engineering and Innovation, OU, Masters (MEng) in Structural Engineering, and Bachelor (BEng) in Civil Engineering at NED University.
I have a Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) in Mathematics and Numeracy Specialists from Teesside University, UK. I am also a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA) and recognised as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
Teaching and supervision
I am module leader of the BEng final year project module for on-campus and all TNE (transnational education) centres in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka.
I teach modules including mechanical technology, applied mechanics, engineering mechanics, engineering mathematics, and digital design principles.
In my previous experience, I have also taught modules such as structure analysis and design, applied mathematics, and engineering materials.
I supervise postgraduate and undergraduate degree final-year projects of students in the UK and in our overseas partner institutes in Malaysia and Africa.
Interests
I am open to accepting applications for self-funded postgraduate research (MPhil/PhD and Visiting Scholars) with a focus on additive manufacturing and 3D printing, with a specific emphasis on engineering materials characterisations, the study of residual stresses for metal parts, and a deep exploration into the domains of structural engineering and mechanics of solids.
