Bio: I am a Professor of Architectural Science and since 2002 I have been Head of School at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University. I joined the School of Architecture in 1977, initially as a Research Demonstrator, and in 1984 was appointed as a ‘new blood’ lecture. I was promoted to Senior lecturer in 1992 and to chair in 1994
Education: I have a BSc in Physics (1974) and PhD in Acoustics (1977) (University of Wales, Cardiff). . I am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineering (FCIBSE) and a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
