MSc Research Projects
From 1991 until 2006 a wide range of topics have been investigated under my supervision as taught MSc Research projects at Cranfield University, largely in the fields of gas turbine combustion, heat transfer and low speed aerodynamics. All of the theses may be loaned from the Cranfield University Library.
For further details please contact me directly.
