My main area of expertise is Environmental Engineering. One area of my research focuses on recovering useful components from wastewater including nutrient and energy via biogas. I am also involved in a number of projects which are developing new biotechnologies for waste treatment.
The majority of my teaching is in project based learning courses for Engineering and Food Technology students. I enjoy using different teaching and assessment techniques. Recently this has also included developing engaging online content which encourages active learning. When possible, I publish my findings in Engineering Education journals.
Research Laboratory Technical Manager - School of Built Environment
Email:
Chris is highly regarded as an innovator, and has excellent relationships with end-users.
His reputation as a technology-focussed innovator with an unusual approach to solutions means he is often approached by individuals and companies seeking advice on products or technologies.
Through his work with the “Let’s Get Inventing” TV show he was further able to inspire, advise and assist young inventers to create and patent their dreams.
Chris has vast professional experience in the robotics and patient simulation, and is presently researching the unintended effects of modern lighting on humans and other biological lifeforms.
Senior Lecturer - Engineering Group
Email:
I am an electrical engineer-turned-lecturer in quality management. Prior to taking up my lectureship in quality management in early 2009 and doctoral studies (2004-2008) which preceded that, I worked in electrical utility companies in Asia and the Middle East for 19 years specializing in operations, quality assurance, auditing (quality), and project management.
As a senior lecturer, I teach, supervise, and conduct research in many areas: industrial management, statistical modeling in social research, quality control and quality improvement, healthcare process improvement, performance measurement, and operations management.
