Dr Oana Ghita was appointed as Material Scientist in the School of Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics at Exeter University in 2002. Prior to this, she held the position of research fellow at Cranfield University- Royal Military College of Science, in Sensors and Composites Research Group. Whilst at Cranfield University, she was involved in different research areas: non-destructive monitoring of thermosets cure using spectroscopy techniques linked to autoclave, microwave, DSC, and the development of a simultaneous DSC-thermo mechanical analyses technique (DSC-TMA). At Exeter, she has developed strong links with industry through several projects with funding in excess of £3M from different funding bodies (Technology Strategy Board -TSB, European Commision - EU, RDA, ERDF and Great Western Research-GWR) and a wide range of companies. Her current interests are in novel composite structures manufactured using additive manufacturing techniques, polymorphism in drugs and polymeric structures, recycling and reuse of thermoset composites, novel combined techniques for in-process materials characterisation.
