In addition to my research and teaching roles, I am the Associate Dean for Global and Civic engagement at the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Medicine.

I have been at the University of Sussex since 2016 (part time) and since 2022 (full time). I am in the Energy and Materials Engineering Research Centre and my current research interests include Thermal Systems, Thermal Comfort, Battery and Vehicle Energy Management, Model Predictive Control, Optimal Control, Data analytics and Modelling. 

Prior to Sussex, I worked for over 25 years at Ricardo UK, an engineering consultancy where I led the Control Department for over 10 years. I have experience of developing hybrid & electric vehicle control, thermal system & powertrain control and on board diagnostics. Working on applications from scooters to passenger cars and commercial vehicles for many of the world's OEMs and suppliers. During this time I led the development of model predictive and optimal control algorithms combined with applications of data analytics.

Prior to working on Control systems, I developed the Noise, Vibration and Harshness in vehicles, particularly focusing on Sound Quality and using simulation to improve the character of the engine sound. Before Ricardo, I worked in the Rail industry at British Rail Research and SNCF, where I tested the Eurostar train and studied railway acoustics.
