Glen Mason is a Lecturer in the Faculty of Creative and Digital Arts and Sciences at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), specializing in computer science and data science education while concurrently conducting PhD research at the University of Surrey's Connected and Autonomous Vehicles Laboratory (CAV Lab).

His academic credentials include:

• PhD in Automotive Engineering, University of Surrey
• MSc Reliable Embedded Systems, University of Leicester
• PGCE, University of Northampton
• BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Research spans automotive safety-critical systems with emphasis on Machine Learning applications for connected vehicles, Functional Safety (SOTIF), and Robust Control Systems. His work integrates Systems Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) with Reliable Embedded Systems design to address safety challenges in autonomous transportation and power electronics.

Professional recognition includes:

• Chartered Engineer status with the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)
• Senior Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy

As an active academic contributor, Glen serves as Senior External Examiner and consultant for BTEC engineering qualifications (levels 4-7), provides journal reviews, and supervises research in Machine Learning and Safety Critical Systems. His industry-academic bridge is reinforced by 12 years of pre-education engineering experience in electronics and power systems, complemented by leadership roles as Course Leader and Head of Faculty during his 19-year HE career.

He operates within the Connected and Autonomous Vehicles Laboratory (CAV Lab) ecosystem at Surrey while maintaining teaching responsibilities for ARU's BSc Applied Computer Science and Data and Analytical Science programs.
