I am also a Fellow (FIMechE) and Chartered Engineer (CEng) of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), and Member (MInstP) and Chartered Physicist (CPhys) of Institute of Physics (IoP).

Director of Research

As Director of Research, I oversee to research activity linked to Singapore. In particular, I support the CEO & Dean (NUiS) in leading the strategy and development of research activity in Singapore and South East Asia, take a strategic overview of the development of research for NUiS, supporting the development of new research activity in partnership with the Directors of Innovation and Internationalisation.

Research interests

I have a long-standing interest in the mechanics of composite materials. My research aims to understand the physical properties of natural and synthetic composite materials and to use the understanding to engineer nanocomposite materials and composite structures, as well as to repair damaged composite materials. I welcome you to visit my research page (see tab 'Research').

Research

OVERVIEW

Currently, I lead the Advanced Composites Research (ACR) Group at the Newcastle Research & Innovation Institute (NewRIIS). My research is focused on establishing our understanding of the mechanics of composite materials, and using the understanding to develop lightweight composite materials, as well as to mitigate damage and repair of damaged composite materials, in the aerospace, automotive and construction industry. My work has been published in several international journal papers, conference proceedings and book chapters.

I am the author of the authoritative book on Discontinuous fibre reinforced composites: fundamental of stress transfer and fracture (Springer). I have also edited a book on Interfaces in fibre and particle reinforced composite materials (Elsevier).

I am a topical editor for the Journal of Mechanical Sciences (Topical area: dynamics and control) as well as other editorial boards of international journals.

I have also been invited as Plenary and Keynote speakers to present my insights and findings in the mechanics of composite materials at several international conferences, in areas from biocomposites to engineering composites. More recently, I have been invited to be the Plenary speaker for the Heidemann lecture at IULTCS 2019, Dresden, an international conference attended by members of the union of Leather Technologists and Chemists societies.

I am an active reviewer for EPSRC, MRC and other UK research councils.

My research group actively collaborates with several world leading international researchers, based in the Argentina, France, India, Malaysia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and UK.

Enquiries from potential (academic or industrial) collaborators are welcome. If you are interested in doing MPhil or PhD degree with me, please feel free to contact me at kheng-lim.goh@ncl.ac.uk

RESEARCH STATEMENT

My research is focused on materials science and engineering.

Essentially, this underpins the Materials for X approach, where X emcompasses the following topical areas: Energy, Medicine, A.I., and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, https://sdgs.un.org/goals). The majority of my research projects involve composite materials, addressing the following strands: (1) composite laminates for aerospace engineering; (2) nanocomposite membrane for water filtration; (3) nanocomposite biomaterials for biomedical engineering; (4) recycled composites for energy. More recently, I am exploring two strands in A.I.: how A.I. can provide cost-effective methods for manufacturing composites and how structural health monitoring smart composites can be developed to support A.I. systems for health monitoring ("A.I. Composites").

My research in Materials for X also aims to understand the physical properties of natural and synthetic materials, so that we can use this understanding to engineer composite materials, as well as to repair damaged composite materials.
