I joined the School of Marine Science and Technology in 2004 as a Lecturer in Marine Electrical Systems following 10 years working in industry. My work in industry covered many aspects of motor drive systems, including power electronic converter design, integrated circuit design, system modelling and simulation, embedded software and control system design. The work on control systems, particularly sensorless control of switched reluctance machines led to patents granted in both Europe and the USA. Applications for the drive systems included hybrid-electric vehicles, industrial servo systems and domestic appliances.

Since joining Newcastle University my research has included:

1. Thermal treatment systems for ballast water, including simulation models and optimisation tools based on artificial neural networks;

1. Non-contact measurement sensors based on optical computer mouse technology;

1. Marine robotic systems for ship hull maintenance which reduces the environmental impact of a ship through cleaning processes which avoid the spread of non-indigenous marine species and reduce hull resistance and therefore fuel consumption and emissions. (HISMAR project funded under the EU FP6 programme)

2. Marine renewable systems, particularly tidal current turbines and the associated electrical power converters.

3. Marine electrical systems including shore supplies and hybrid marine propulsion.

4. Fuel and emission monitoring for marine engines (two KTP project with Royston, funded by Innovate UK)
