Biography

Since graduation in 1963, he has held a variety of Industrial posts in the field of gas turbine engineering with the British Government, Rolls-Royce and Alstom Power. He joined Durham University in 1973, and retired as Emeritus reader in 2005, but continues do teach part-time and undertake research.
