Dr Wendell Bailey PhD, MIoP
Research Fellow; Senior Consulting Engineer
Dr Wendell Bailey is Research Fellow; Senior Consulting Engineer within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton.
Wendell is a versatile Consulting Engineer with a strong technical background in heat transfer and mechanical construction and design. He is an expert in cryogenics and manages a team that perform complex thermal and mechanical tests at extreme temperatures. Wendell has conducted over 60 consultancy projects in 3 years on a worldwide client base.
Having graduated as a mechanical engineer from Brunel University (2:1 BEng Mechanical Engineering with (Hons) before studying a PhD in boiling heat transfer of organic fluids at the University of Southampton in 2002. PhD in Thermal Fluids and Cryogenics. Thesis Title: Application of pool boiling heat transfer on modulated surfaces in organic liquids.
He moved into a post-doctorate research role at Southampton at the Institute of Cryogenics. Wendell primarily focuses upon consultancy, but continues to engage in various research activities.
His thermo-mechanical expertise have provided the cryogenics team with a platform to explore and deliver new consultancy work streams in:
Performance of composites materials and structures at cryogenic temperatures.
Materials experiencing dynamic loads at low temperatures.
Development and assessment of "structured" insulations.
Materials required to exploit the potential of liquid / gaseous hydrogen.
