Biography

Read Dr Mike Fitzpatrick’s biography.

Dr Mike Fitzpatrick is a senior lecturer in the Department of Materials Engineering at The Open University. He works on the study of residual stresses in materials, and is an expert on the application of X-ray and neutron diffraction methods for stress measurement. He also researches the development and characterization of high-strength aerospace alloys and composites. He chaired the development and production of the OU’s flagship first-year engineering course (T173) Engineering the Future. Most recently he has co-ordinated a block of material on how engineers design against failure for the new second-level course (T207) The Engineer as Problem Solver, which was launched in 2004.
