Bio

I have been employed by the University of Cambridge since 1985, first as a lecturer and, since 2006, as professor of mechanical engineering. My research covers the mechanical, civil, and materials aspects of road transport engineering. I am Director of the Cambridge Vehicle Dynamics Consortium and the Centre for Sustainable Road Freight and I lead Cambridge University Engineering Department’s research theme 'Energy, Transport and Urban Infrastructure'. I am a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Road Transport Engineers and the Society of Operations Engineers.
