Dr Timothy Waters BSc PhD
Associate Professor of Vibration Engineering
Dr Timothy Waters is Associate Professor within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton.
Current Position
Tim Waters is Associate Professor at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR), University of Southampton. His research interests relate to vibration control and applications of vibration, particularly at ultrasonic frequencies, for structural health monitoring of aging aircraft and removal of accretions, e.g. in-flight wing de-icing. He runs short courses for industry in vibration related topics.
Career History
Tim Waters studied Mathematics at the University of Bristol. On graduation, he spent three years at British Aerospace (Airbus) Ltd where he worked in aerodynamic and elastic modelling of aircraft structures for flutter prediction. He completed his PhD at the University of Bristol, funded by British Aerospace, to research new methods for validating finite element models as used for predicting aircraft wing vibration. He joined the ISVR in 1998, initially as a research fellow and consulting engineer. He is currently an associate professor of vibration engineering and has a broad range of research interests in both the mitigation and exploitation of structural vibration.
He has co-authored over 90 international journal and conference articles, a book chapter on vibration testing, and a patent.
