Dr Redha Benhadj-Djilali

About

I am a Chartered Engineer, Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and Member of the British Computer Society. I specialised in CAD/CAM/CAE, engineering design and manufacturing automation and have been at Kingston University since 1994. I worked in the manufacturing industry before starting my academic career at Kingston University where I held a research fellowship and then a lecturer position. My research project was based on the development of a pneumatic array of air jet proximity to tactile sensing device for manufacturing parts identification, slip detection and force monitoring. I also carried out further research in CAD/CAM, design and manufacture and the application of the tactile sensing device to assist robot part handling and assembly.  Was on the editorial boards of three international journals, Sensor Review, Industrial Robots and Assembly Automation and review other international journals/conferences.
