Meet the tutors

Our School is home to many experts. We're passionate about sharing our knowledge and supporting your own engineering career. Here are some of our team.

Dr Rafael Morales Viviescas

Aerospace Programme Director and Admissions Tutor
I am fascinated by rotorcraft which can take off and land vertically (VTOL). I joined Leicester after my PhD because of the strong links with major rotorcraft manufacturers.

Dr Lanlan Su

Lecturer in Engineering
My research and teaching focuses on analysing the stability and performance of systems. As well as engineering, I am also passionate about maths. Outside of work, I like travelling.

Dr Hugo Williams

Associate Professor
I worked in industry before coming to Leicester. My main areas of expertise are composite materials (carbon and glass fibre polymers) and nuclear power systems for space missions.

Professor Stephen Garrett

Head of School
My background is at the boundary of Engineering and Applied Mathematics, and I have a PhD from Cambridge. Away from being Head, I researches fluid dynamics in aerospace applications.
