Refrigeration

"I began my career working in cryogenics and Low temperature Physics. I was the research student on the Group at Lancaster University who set the world record for the lowest temperature achieved in 1984.

After my PhD I moved around the world working with cryogenic refrigerators at universities in Bayreuth W. Germany, UC Berkeley, U.S.A, Copenhagen, Denmark as well as spending a period back at Lancaster.

Since 1993 I have been working on "higher" temperature refrigerators for the chilling and freezing of foods and other perishable products

Food Science

In 1993 I founded the BioFreeze unit at York University to perform research and development projects with industrial partners in the field of Food refrigeration.

I moved BioFreeze to The Proctor dept of Food Science ant the University of Leeds in 1996 where I worked as a senior lecturer in Food Science and technology.

BioFreeze specialised in the development of new chilling and freezing techniques, and the transport of refrigerated foods. At Leeds I co-ordinated a European concerted action on the cold chain and edited Managing Frozen Foods which is published by Woodhead Publishing.

Other documents produced at that time are available on this web site.

Software Development

Throughout my career I have written and used computer models for the analysis of processes and results. I specialise in the use of VB.Net software to write custom applications to assist clients in the efficient development and operation of their processes.
