Conference Co-chairProfessor David Infield, University of Strathclyde, UKProfessor David Infield joined the University in 2007 as Professor in Renewable Energy Technologies. Together with colleagues, a considerable wind energy research activity has been built up since then. For five years he was Manager of the Doctoral Training Centre in Wind Energy Systems, delivering four year PhDs with a considerable training element; this was extended into the Centre for Doctoral Training in Wind and Marine Energy Systems for which he played a leading managerial role before retiring and taking on the role of Research Professor. His teaching was mainly to these Doctoral students although I also supervised Undergraduate and Masters student projects across a range of renewable energy related topics.
His main responsibility outside the University is as Editor in Chief of the IET’s Renewable Power Generation journal.
