Academic and industry profiles

Dr Georgios Aivaliotis
I believe statistics have the power to change the world and are vital to modern societies and economies.More

Professor Jiannis K Pachos
Being able to predict the motion of galaxies or the behaviour of subatomic particles based on few principles — and lots of hard work—is in the core of theoretical physics.I strongly believe that physics, even at challenging levels, should be accessible. This is reflected in the way the Theoretical Physics Program is composed and taught at the University of Leeds.More

Dr Isolde Adler
The integration of mathematics and computer science is essential to the design of reliable and optimal algorithms.More

Dr Paul Beales
"More than ever scientists are having to work in teams where they need to communicate effectively with scientists trained in different disciplines and applying concepts from these different traditional perspectives."More

Dr Brandon Bennett
I have an interdisciplinary background encompassing philosophy and physics as well as computer science. My primary interest is in the aspects of artificial intelligence that deal with knowledge representation and reasoning, especially in the domain of spatial information.More
Professor Leon Black
The more I studied the microstructure and materials chemistry of cement, the more I was amazed by the complexity of this material we take for granted every day. For the past 15 years, I’ve worked on the relationship between cement composition, microstructure and durability of low carbon cement and concrete.More

Dr Greg de Boer
Having started as an undergraduate myself on this programme in 2007, I have seen the course become even stronger and in creating an inspirational learning environment for students.More
Dr Hamish Carr
A key part of Computer Science is performance. This is visible in my research in Computer Graphics, Scientific Visualisation and multicore parallelisation.More

Dr Xiaohui Chen
Inspiration is the core of better education for our next generation engineer. I’m always encouraging our students to do better and proud of everything our students achieve.More

Professor Barry Clarke
I have had the opportunity to work internationally and engage with senior geotechnical engineers on a diverse range of projects. It is this experience that enables me to bring alive the excitement of geotechnical engineering yet help develop an understanding of the behaviour of the ground.More

Professor Timothy Cockerill
Making our energy system sustainable is perhaps the key global challenge of the 21st Century. Our course aims to give participants the essential skills and expertise needed to contribute to this challenge.More

Dr David Connolly
I’m passionate about teaching and am interested in introducing innovative learning and teaching techniques to improve students' learning experiences. The Railway Engineering with Project Management MSc gives students to chance to gain holistic knowledge of the railway industry, including project management.More

Dr Luisa Cutillo
" What really drives me is solving new challenges in real data applications while contributing to methodological development."More

Dr Karim Djemame
I am passionate about my research, which is by definition multidisciplinary, applied and brings collaboration with specialists from both industry and academia.More

Dr Louise Fletcher
The Environmental Engineering and Project management MSc programme attracts students from different parts of the world and from a variety of backgrounds. You will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and develop your team working skills through the numerous group activities that we offer.More

Dr Emilio Garcia-Taengua
‘How does my work contribute to the quality of infrastructure being designed, built, or repaired?’ is the question I ask myself every day, and that’s the main message I try to communicate to my students.More

Professor Steve Garrity
The programme helps our students to develop their creative building design skills through the integration of the principles and practice of architecture, building physics and structural engineering.More

Marcus Gronqvist
The Engineering Project Management programme covers the entire project management process, from inception and feasibility, engineering, procurement and implementation through to commissioning and operation. Modules are taught by lecturers who have both cutting edge research and industrial experience.More
Dr David Harbottle
Our strong partnerships with UK industry ensure that our students are well prepared to begin their careers in a range of industrial sectors.More

Dr Anthony Herbert
Seeing motivated and committed students succeed academically and gain the reward of their efforts on graduation day is always a personal highlight for me.More

Seeing motivated and committed students succeed academically and gain the reward of their efforts on graduation day is always a personal highlight for me.More

Professor Melvin Hoare
The course builds hand-in-hand with the physics, maths and computing that you learn alongside, but allows you to apply these ideas to the amazing objects out there such as new planets, exploding stars and super-massive black holes.More

Dr Paul Hutchings
On this programme you will engage with people with backgrounds in civil and environmental engineering, public health, and the social sciences as we try to develop you into well-rounded engineers capable of sustainably improving public health.More

Justin Lunn
Design and design led teaching remain key to my role as programme lead for Architecture. I believe, from my experience, that the process of designing buildings equips students in a uniquely excellent way for a future in the building industry.More
Dr Tariq Mahmud
I am particularly interested in promoting problem-based learning approach and research-led teaching where appropriate. I spent one term at the Iowa State University, Ames US, as a visiting faculty member in 2006, and offered two chemical engineering courses in the year-3 of the undergraduate and graduate programmes.More
Krisen Moodley
Since joining Leeds my research and teaching interests now include infrastructure asset management, whole life management, ethics, corporate responsibility, resilience and procurement.More

Professor Andrew Mullis
This is a truly multidisciplinary course in which you will study a range of topics from the background science underpinning materials to the cutting edge.More

Dr Graham Murphy
"I have the opportunity to be involved in teaching a wide variety of students and also to develop the programme so that graduates should be well prepared to begin a career in the actuarial profession on related disciplines."More

Dr Nikolaos Nikitas
Personally, as a Programme Manager, my goal is to inspire my engineering students to seek excellence and become successful professionals; building unique portfolios in some of our top industrial partners or chasing research visions, within the academic arena, to make the structural engineering of tomorrow better.More

Dr Jan Palczewski
"I find financial mathematics fascinating because it reaches far beyond finance. The same paradigms and mathematical techniques are invaluable in understanding economic and social phenomena. I have recently been involved in researching how to overcome challenges of switching to wind and solar generation to reduce carbon emissions: on the mathematical level, the variability of wind speed and solar radiation is no different than that of stock prices on financial markets."More

Professor Jonathan Partington
My research interests range widely, from pure mathematical topics to more applied themes.More

Dr Andrew Scott
This MSc will give you core Materials Science knowledge with the flexibility to choose modules within our pathways to enable you to focus on an area of particular interest.More
