Prof Andrew Cruden is the Professor of Energy Technology and Co-Director of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Energy Storage and its Applications at the University of Southampton. He obtained his BEng, MSc and PhD degrees in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, in 1989, 1990 and 1998, respectively.

Clare Grey

Clare Grey

Clare P. Grey is the Geoffrey Moorhouse-Gibson Professor of Chemistry at Cambridge University. She received a BA and D. Phil. (1991) in Chemistry from the University of Oxford. After spending a year as a Royal Society post-doctoral Fellow at Nijmegen University and two years as a visiting scientist at DuPont CR&D in Wilmington, DE (1992-1993) she joined the faculty at Stony Brook University (SBU) as an Assistant (1994), Associate (1997) and then Full Professor (2001).

Patrick Grant

Patrick Grant

Research interests concern developing understanding the complex underlying physics during materials processing in order to manipulate microstructure, extract maximum economic benefit and impose process control.

Goran Strbac

Goran Strbac

Goran Strbac is a Professor of Energy Systems at Imperial College. His research, conducted in close collaboration with energy industry, governments and regulators, focuses on the development of technical, economic and market frameworks to facilitate cost effective integration of new forms of low carbon generation and demand side technologies.

Yulong Ding

Yulong Ding

My research interests are mainly in various areas of particle science and engineering, and to a less extent in the reaction engineering particularly adsorption enhanced reaction processes.  My work involves both experimental work and mathematical modelling, and the latter including developing and validating conceptual models based on continuous theories and discrete particle models.

Jihong Wang

Jihong Wang

Professor Wang joined the School of Engineering at the University of Warwick in January 2011. Her previous post was in the School of Electronic, Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Birmingham, where she was professor of Control and Electrical Power and Deputy Director of the Midlands Energy Graduate School. She has also served as Lecturer and Senior Lecturer at the University of Liverpool from 1998 to 2007.

Paul Jennings

Paul Jennings

Paul Jennings is Professor of Experiential Engineering and he also leads WMG’s Energy and Electrical Systems research group. Professor Jennings has been involved in research with the automotive industry for over 20 years and now leads work in Experiential Engineering and also on hybrid and electric vehicle technologies and the factors affecting their successful introduction.
