Dr David Allanson

School of Engineering

Faculty of Engineering and Technology

David Allanson has held an academic post at LJMU since January 1998. Prior to that he was a member of the Advanced Manufacturing Technology research group and completed his PH.D in 1995. During his time in the laboratory he was involved in the development of intelligent and adaptive control systems and the development of supporting process models.

Since joining the academic staff, David has delivered modules over a range of engineering topics including Thermodynamics, Fluid Dynamics, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) at undergraduate and post graduate levels. He is currently interested exploring different techniques for the teaching of engineering CFD and encouraging the development of a robust approach to engineering analysis.

David also spent some time working for National Nuclear Corporation (NNC) and worked in the commissioning division at Heysham 2 AGR where he worked on the testing of reactor instrumentation and safety circuits.

David is currently Programme Leader for the Marine and Offshore Engineering MSc programme and assist with the management and running of the Mechanical and Marine Engineering undergraduate programmes.
