Lloyd holds a MEng in electronic engineering from the University of Hull, and a PhD from the University of Sheffield for his research on the optical nonlinearities of semiconductor waveguides. He is registered as a Chartered Engineer with the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). Lloyd leads work at the AMRC developing novel processes for the manufacture of electrical machines in demanding applications such as aerospace, heavy- and niche-automotive, etc. He leads a portfolio of collaborative R&D projects and the AMRC's research activity in the EPSRC Future Electrical Machines Manufacturing Hub.

The Pop in Your Job: My work at the interface between academia and industry provides exciting opportunities to conduct cutting edge with clear routes to real-world impact.

The University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) specialises in developing advanced manufacturing technologies for aerospace, automotive, medical, and other high-value industries. Alongside activities in power electronics machines and drives across the University of Sheffield, the AMRC supports development, testing, and industrialisation. The AMRC has expertise in creating lightweight components for electrical machines through machining (including shafts, hubs, and gears), casting, additive manufacturing, and composites in addition to application-specific capabilities such as laser cutting of electrical steels and coil winding.
