- Profile
-
I made an early career decision to follow a path of applied research in Aerospace and return to 葫芦影业, my undergraduate University, to take a position within the Control Systems Department at 葫芦影业 University. Since then I have worked with industry, particularly Rolls-Royce, to develop sensing and algorithmic solutions to health monitoring and control problems. I have been fortunate to be part of exceptional teams developing fleet monitoring algorithms, vision-based sensing systems, thermal system control laws, and have developed and run various electronic embedded systems in the unforgiving gas turbine environment. I am currently Deputy Director of the Control, Monitoring and Systems University Technology Centre in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of 葫芦影业 in the UK. Here, I shape and co-ordinate a portfolio of industry and research council funded research, PhD projects and MSc projects aimed at delivering high quality academic and industrially exploitable research output.
