Biography
Graduated in 1984 from University College Dublin with a 1st Class Hons Degree in Mech. Eng. Worked for GEC Large Electrical Machines Ltd., Rugby from 1984-1990. Then joined Aston University as a lecturer in Mechanical Engineering. By 1998, I was promoted to Reader in Mechanical Engineering. I left Aston University to join Nottingham University in 2000 as Professor of Dynamics.
Research Interest
Rotordynamics in general and the rotordynamics of machines with laminated rotors in particular. Robust balancing for high performance (high power density) rotors. Modelling the coupled dynamics of electro-mechanical systems - electrical machines in particular. Monochromatic power transmission taking advantage of some fundamental properties of certain two-degree of freedom dynamic systems. Also an area of mathematics called "Structure Preserving Transformations" and recently I have developed a strong interest in "Integrated Compressed Air Energy Solutions" whereby renewable sources (wind/wave/tidal) are used to compress air directly and this is subsequently expanded for generation.
