Professor Nicos Ladommatos is a Mechanical Engineer. From 2004, he was the Kennedy Professor for Mechanical Engineering and Head of Department for UCL Mechanical Engineering. In his career, he authored or co-authored over 150 peer-reviewed papers[1], specialising in the areas of combustion, combustion engines, fuel development and future fuels.

Academic career

Ladommatos studied for his first degree in Mechanical Engineering at Queen Mary College (University of London)[2]. This was followed by an MSc in Thermal Power and PhD from Imperial College in Energy Utilisation[3]. Following his studies, Ladommatos worked as a Project Engineer with multinational professional services firm Arup. In 1984, he became a Mechanical Engineering Lecturer at Brunel University[4].

He became Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Brunel in 1994. He then went on to become Dean of the Faculty of Technology & Information Systems between 1998 and 2001 and then Pro-Vice Chancellor, Research & Enterprise between 2001 and 2003, all at Brunel University.

In 2004, Ladommatos began working at UCL where he held the position of Kennedy Chair and was the Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering until September 2013[5]. Throughout this time, he continued his research in combustion and fuels.
