I am very active within the Royal Academy of Engineering, as chair of their Visiting Professors Steering Committee and a long-standing member of the Education Committee. I am myself a Visiting Professor at the University of Derby. I am a STEM Ambassador and frequently visit schools to talk about Engineering.
