Senior Research Fellow

Background

Edward S. Richardson is an EPSRC Career Acceleration Fellow in the Energy Technology Group at the University of Southampton, leading a project on modelling of two-phase reacting flow. Prior to joining the University of Southampton, Edward undertook three years of post doctoral research at the Combustion Research Facility, Sandia National Laboratories, California, and completed Marie Curie Early Stage Research Training at the European Centre for Research and Training in Advanced Scientific Computation (CERFACS) in Toulouse, France. Richardson received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Cambridge University in 2007.
