Proposed New Structure for Geometrical Product Specifications and Verification

Professor Paul J. Scott (FRSS DSc PhD) has published more than 200 papers on measurement science and surface metrology, holds six patents, and has written three book chapters and a book. He is also a principal member of TC/213 committee “Dimensional Geometrical Products Specification and Verification” where he is convenor of one working group (filtration and extraction) and one advisory group (mathematics for GPS) Paul obtained his PhD at Imperial College London UK in 1983 with a dissertation entitled: Multipivotal models with applications to a shape fitting problem. Paul also obtained a DSc at the University of Huddersfield UK I 2021 with a dissertation entitled: Decomposition for Geometrical Products. Paul started his career at Taylor Hobson Ltd, Leicester in 1983: a world leader in the design and development of ultra-precision metrology instruments for surface texture and form. spending twenty-six years in the research department. In 2010, Paul started his academic life, as a full Professor, at the Centre for Precision Technologies (CPT) at the University of Huddersfield where he has built and leads a team of researchers, Mathematics for Metrology Group. Prof Paul Scott has held two EPSRC manufacturing fellowships, both covered Decomposition Theory for Computational Geometry.  He also led his team in freeform surface characterisation research.  Paul has been a pioneer: in Applied Category Theory for engineering measurement science. He created, with Italy Milan University, a hierarchical digital twin model for use on a real assembly line, resulting in a 60% reduction (69 to 19) in the number of required sensors. Since July 2019 Paul’s group has collaborated with the National Institute of Science Technology (NIST), USA to develop a framework for future AI ready machine-readable and interpretable smart systems.
