F Cuthill Profile

Dr. Fergus Cuthill is FastBlade Manager and Senior Experimental Ofificer for the FASTBLADE Structural Composites Research Facility at The University of Edinburgh. He is currently focused on implementing the instrumentation and control systems for the facility.

Prior to his present post he was PDRA within the Institute for Materials and Processes, working on two Wave Energy Scotland (WES) funded projects (ELASTO & ROTOHYBRID). His role focused on the mechanical testing, anylsis and classification of novel materials for the potential use in wave energy devices with the aim of the research being a step change in the levelised cost of energy (LCOE).

He completed his PhD "The Influence of Snow Microstructure and Properties on the Grip of Winter Tyres" in colaboration with Michelin and supervised by Dr. Jane Blackford and Prof. Vasileios Koutsos in 2017.

PhD Mechanical Engineering (Snow Mechanics), The University of Edinburgh, 2017
