This has included positions at Foseco International working in light alloys, and Nottingham University researching the application of electromagnetic stirring to DC cast Al. Most recently Dr. Griffiths was the Federal-Mogul Senior Research Fellow at UMIST, researching interfacial heat transfer in light alloy and ferrous casting, before moving to the University of Birmingham as a Lecturer
