Role

I am a Principal Lecturer and Undergraduate Programme Lead who looks after all Undergraduate Programmes in Engineering at Brookes and at our Associate College Partners (ACP's).  My current interests are in curriculum development and the integrated curriculum currently in use here at Brookes and the development and application of Stirling Engine Technology which is used as a topic to deliver that curriculum.  I have experience and interest in Finite Element Modelling, Contol Engineering and Vibrating systems.
