Biography
Current position and duties
I have joined the Univesity of Sussex in December 2006 as a Professor of Computational Fluid Dynamics. I have established a research team based in the Thermo-Fluid Mechanics Research Centre (TFMRC) which currently includes seven PhD students conducting research into Turbomachinery and Suistanable Energy Technology, with primary focus on utlising Computational Fluid Dynamics tools I have developed over 20 years of research and the extensive experimental facilities at the TFMRC. I am currently the Dirctor of Research and Knolwedge exchange at the School of Engineering and Informatics and the Head of the Mechanical Engineering Research Group.
I am the convenor of the MSc degrees in Suistanable Energy Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Andvanced Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Technolgy.
I have been teaching: Computational Fluid Dynamics, Turbomachinery and turbochargin, Heat Transfer Applicaitons.
