Profile

Professor Hughes has recently completed a 3-year term as the Head of the School of Engineering at the University of Hull responsible for Mechanical, Electrical, Medical and Chemical Engineering Disciplines. During this role he led the School to its highest national league table position and quadrupled the Schools research income, generating a School surplus in excess of 瞿7M per annum. His work is cross-disciplinary and he has held previous academic appointments at Strathclyde, Sheffield, Leeds and Heriot Watt University in both Mechanical and Civil Engineering Schools.

His personal research is both fundamental and applied focussed low carbon heating and cooling in the built environment, current research grants include the ESPRC Decarbonised Heating and Cooling Call 1, EPSRC Supergen Thermal Energy Storage Challenge 2, Innovate UK Energy Catalyst Round 8 and 10, and an Innovate UK Smart Award.

Professor Hughes has served as the Editor-In-Chief of the International Journal of Ventilation (Taylor & Francis) from 2015 - 22, and currently serves as an external examiner in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Leeds, an awards panel member and past president of the Whitworth Society (IMechE). He is a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and a Whitworth Senior Scholar (Wh.S.Sch).

During his career to date he has been awarded the IMechE Visionary Award for Outstanding Leadership, New Civil Engineer Award for Research Team of the Year and a second award for the Best Carbon Reduction Project, WSSET Innovation Award for Low Carbon Technologies and Future Cities.
