Michael Henshaw is a Professor of Systems Engineering at Loughborough University, where he has led major interdisciplinary projects since 2006. He holds roles as Wolfson School Associated Dean for Education and Director of the Systems Engineering MSc. His research focuses on Cyber-physical Systems of Systems, Quantum Systems Engineering, and Resilient Systems. He previously worked at BAE Systems for 17 years, contributing to computational modeling of aeronautical systems. Key contributions include leadership in the PUMA DARP project addressing non-linear aeroelastic prediction methods, published in high-impact journals like Progress in Aerospace Sciences.
Education:
- BSc (Honors) in Applied Physics
- PhD in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling of laser-plasma interactions
- MBA
Research Interests: Integration of complex sociotechnical systems, autonomy, command and control (C2), systems architecture, quantum systems engineering, and ethical considerations in autonomous systems. His work bridges academia and industry, addressing challenges in defense, aerospace, and resilient societies.
Articles: Focus on advancing non-linear aeroelastic prediction, open architectures in military systems, and quantum technology development. Recent work explores industrial robot-as-a-service (IRaaS) and systems-of-systems methodologies.
Grants & Projects: Led the University’s Global Challenge in Secure and Resilient Societies (2016–2020), and co-authored strategic research agendas for systems engineering. Collaborates internationally on trans-Atlantic initiatives like T-AREA-SoS.
Labs/Teams: Involved in the UK Applied Aerodynamics consortium and directs the Systems Engineering MSc program, fostering industry-relevant education and apprenticeship programs.
