معرفی
Professor Peter Fussey holds a dual role at the University of Sussex as a Professor in the School of Engineering and Informatics and Associate Dean for Global and Civic Engagement at the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Medicine. He leads the Energy and Materials Engineering Research Centre, focusing on Thermal Systems, Battery and Vehicle Energy Management, Model Predictive Control, and Data Analytics. Previously, he spent over 25 years at Ricardo UK, leading the Control Department and developing advanced control systems for hybrid/electric vehicles and thermal management. His career also includes rail acoustics research at British Rail Research and SNCF.
Education:
- DPhil in Engineering from the University of Oxford
- MA in Engineering from the University of Cambridge
Research Interests: Professor Fussey’s work spans automotive and mechanical engineering, with a focus on low-emission powertrains, energy management systems, and advanced control algorithms. His recent projects include optimizing EV cabin climate control for extended range, geofencing for smart mobility, and neuro-fuzzy modeling for thermal systems. He has also pioneered applications of model predictive control (MPC) in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems and engine combustion optimization.
Teaching: Courses include Low Emission Vehicle Propulsion, Vehicle Dynamics, and supervising Formula Student projects. His teaching emphasizes practical applications of control theory and sustainability.
Labs/Teams: Leads the Energy and Materials Engineering Research Centre, fostering interdisciplinary research in sustainable energy and advanced propulsion systems.
