Over 50 years as an electronics engineer (1972 to date) with over 40 years of experience specialising in the design of active/passive ultra-wideband sonar systems over the frequency range 50Hz to 50MHz.
Specialist in the design of high-power analogue matching components and techniques to interface piezo-electric transducers to a wide range of power amplifiers both in fluidic (oil/water) and high-pressure gas mediums.
Inventor of equalisation techniques to remove all hardware and transmission medium distortion of the transmitted and received electro-acoustic waveforms.
Co-inventor of crack detection in gas pipelines.
Principal Scientist with DNV then Halfwave (2006-2018) and an original member of the team which was the first to successfully acoustically measure the properties and condition of a pipeline using Acoustic Resonance Technology (ART) in a high-pressure gas environment.
Consultant for Cereus Technology in the application of the above ultra-wideband (min 4 octave) electro-acoustic techniques into new, exciting and challenging environments.
Lecturer in Acoustics at Birmingham University
