The RIED Programme Team and the QUB School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering are delighted to welcome Professor Mark Gillan as Honorary Professor of Practice. Mark is a graduate from the School, with an established reputation having held senior leadership positions in industry (McLaren F1, Red Bull Racing, Williams F1, Artemis), academia (Associate VP of Technologies and Special Projects, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) and funding organisations (CTO of InnovateUK). Mark will bring his extensive experience to support the School’s ambitions to maximise our impact on the economy and society through leading education and research, and build a global reputation across our research themes in topics such as Transport and Engineering Design.
As Chair of our RIED Strategic Governance Board since our launch in 2021, Mark has demonstrated significant leadership and challenge that we are confident Mark will bring to bear in the QUB School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering too.
