Katy is a Senior Lecturer in AI for Engineering in the James Watt School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow. She obtained her BSc Hons in Mathematics from Heriot-Watt University in 2011 and a PhD in Mathematical Modelling for Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Testing from the University of Strathclyde in 2014. In 2018 she was awarded a UKRI Innovation Fellowship to pursue her research in the field of ultrasonic tomography for non-destructive evaluation. She was subsequently appointed as a Chancellor's Fellow in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Strathclyde in 2019 before moving as Senior Lecturer to the University of Glasgow in 2024. Katy works at the interface between applied mathematics, engineering and industry. Her central research interests include modelling waves in complex media, ultrasonics, inverse problems and imaging. She has a strong focus on developing advanced models and imaging algorithms for the detection of defects and characterisation of microstructures in complex media, with applications in legacy welded structures, carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRPs) and monitoring of metal additive manufacturing processes.
