Samir Mekid received his MSc in applied mechanics and materials and PhD in precision engineering from Compiegne University of Technology (France) in 1994. He has worked with industry on several projects and in 2001 he joined UMIST (United Kingdom), which, after merging with Victoria University in 2004, came to be known as The University of Manchester. He is currently an associate professor and leads a research team in precision engineering, metrology, and instrumentation. He has gained substantial experience in multidisciplinary research activities. His commitment to industrially collaborative research is supported by public grants including EU funding, e.g., I*PROMS, DYNAMITE, and EPSRC funding in the United Kingdom.
Dr. Mekid has designed and manufactured a number of ultrahigh precision mechanical systems dedicated for long and short strokes such as optical delay line for very large telescopes required by the European Organization for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere (ESO), and linear slides and micromachines with nanometer positioning and low levels of vibration. He has developed a number of sensors for in-process measurements, mesoscale inspections, and wireless MEMS measurements. Dr. Mekid is a chartered engineer and a member of IMechE and the Institute of Nanotechnology. He also has a great interest in teaching and learning and has been conferred the award of the Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice. He has also won several teaching and research awards.
