She earned her bachelor's degree in 1988 and started work as a civil engineer . In 1992 Greaves returned to academia, and moved to St Edmund Hall, Oxford for her doctoral studies. Her doctoral research considered the numerical modelling of fluid flows, and she graduated in 1998.Career After earning her doctoral degree Greaves joined University College London as a lecturer in mechanical engineering. In 2002 Greaves joined the University of Bath as a lecturer in architecture and civil engineering. She was awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship . Here she investigated the impact of wind on fabric in an effort to design new materials to cover large open spaces. In 2008 Greaves moved to the University of Plymouth.
