Dr Connie Qian is an Assistant Professor in Polymer and Composites Engineering at WMG, the University of Warwick. Prior to joining WMG in 2018, she was a PhD candidate and later a postgraduate research fellow based in the polymer composites group  at the University of Nottingham, where she worked on a number of projects in multi-scale material modelling, structural analysis and optimisation and manufacturing process simulation.

Connie joined the Hub in 2019 as an Innovation Fellow working on the project ‘Numerical simulation of high-rate compression moulding of combined SMC and prepreg’. She is currently the PI on the Hub’s Synergy Project “Zero-waste manufacturing of highly optimised composites with hybrid architectures”, which follows the success of her Innovation Fellowship. Connie is also the Hub’s EDI Champion and runs the EDI committee.
