Dr Terry J Harvey PhD

Senior Research Fellow

Dr Terry J Harvey is Senior Research Fellow within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton.

Terry obtained a BSc (Hons) in Applied Chemistry from Portsmouth University and later followed this with a PhD on corrosion inhibitors, also at Portsmouth University.

Terry joined Surface Engineering Research Group in the School of Engineering Sciences at the University of Southampton in 1997. Early work within the group concentrated on electrostatic condition monitoring development, working with the Office of Naval Research. Before diversifying into erosion-corrosion, working with National Physical Laboratory, anti-balling (anti-caking) of down-hole drill bits with Schlumberger and working on EPSRC-DSTL High Strain project and EPSRC Green Tribology platform grant (EP/J001023/1).

During his time within the Surface Engineering Research Group, which became the National Centre for Advanced Tribology at Southampton (nCATS) Terry has help supervise six PhD students and one post-doctoral researcher covering research areas of electrostatic condition monitoring, lubricant additives, erosion-corrosion, electrochemical influences on friction and spectroscopic analysis of marine oil for condition monitoring sensor development. As well as performed consultancy work with Rifi on project with Rolls-Royce (Bristol and Derby), John Crane, Honeywell, McLaren, Mars Space Limited, Clyde and Co (Expert Witness), BP.

Currently Terry is working on European Metrology Research Programme called "Metrology to assess the durability and function of engineered surfaces", with NPL BAM, INRIM, PTB, MIKES, CNAM, FAU, DTI, VTT, Alicona. Terry is also nCATS Facility Manager.
