Biography
Andrew obtained a Masters Degree in Physics with Astrophysics from the University of Leicester, and a PhD in Large Eddy Simulation (LES) from the Department of Engineering of the same institution. He worked at the Aircraft Research Association in Bedford, in the areas of mesh generation and full aircraft simulation. He subsequently joined the Rolls-Royce UTC at Loughborough University in 2007. During his tenure in the Department of Aeronautical & Automotive Engineering, his research focused on the LES of high subsonic turbulent jets for the purposes of noise prediction, and the development and application of LES to axial compressor flows. He re-joined the Department of Engineering in November 2010 as a Teaching Fellow, and was appointed as a Lecturer in April 2013.
