Biography

Barry Lennox FREng is Professor of Applied Control in the School of Electrical & Electronic Enginnering. He held the EPSRC Chair in Nuclear Decommissioning between 2012-2014 and is Research Director of the Dalton Cumbrian Facility. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, Senior Member of the IEEE, Fellow of the IET and InstMC and a Chartered Engineer.

He received a BEng in Chemical Engineering and a PhD from Newcastle University and before being appointed Lecturer at the University of Manchester in 1997, worked as a Research Associate and Fellow at Newcastle and Monash Universities.

His research interests are in the development and deployment of robotic systems for nuclear decommissioning applications, applied control systems and the use of acoustic pulse reflectometry for monitoring industrial pipelines. In 2002 he co-founded Perceptive Engineering, a process control solutions provider and through Circor, his work in acoustics has led to the development of equipment that has been commercialised and successfully applied in the North Sea, USA and Asia to detect and locate blockages in subsea pipelines and heat exchangers.
