Visiting Professor
Following graduation in BSc (Hons) Fuel and Energy Engineering, I worked, on and offshore, for over 33 years in the oil & gas industry as a Chartered Engineer. In the early 1990s I undertook and was awarded a BA (Hons) in Psychology in order to focus on the assessment of competence in major emergency management within the on and offshore oil and gas industry. In 2018 I was awarded the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering and Law following three years research at the University of Aberdeen investigating the effectiveness of the current competence assessment of Offshore Installation Managers in controlling major emergencies. I have introduced three new topics incorporating problem-based and project-based learning to the Human Factors in Engineering course within the School of Engineering at the University of Aberdeen under the RAEng VP Scheme. The work has allowed me to develop the course and achieve Advance HE Fellowship. The developments will become an integral part of future courses in Human Factors Engineering at the University.
