The Founder and Managing Director of Chronos Technology, Charles Curry, has been awarded a Visiting Professorship from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics.
Charles, who graduated from the University in 1973 with a Degree in Engineering, has been a member of the Department’s Industry Advisory Board (IAB) since 2008. The IAB is a group of industrialists who regularly meet up to help peer review student projects and faculty activities.
He said: “It is very humbling to be honoured in this fashion by the institution that laid the foundations of my career. It really brought back memories – I recently revisited the Student Union concert hall where I saw Led Zeppelin play ‘Stairway to Heaven’ for the first time in 1971.”
Dr Jason Ralph, Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics, said: “Charles has a wealth of experience in the communication and navigation industry and will be a valued addition to the Department. We hope that Charles will particularly enjoy working with students who undertake real assignments with industry.”
