Ross Drummond

Ross Drummond is a Lecturer in Control and Systems Engineering at the University of Sheffield’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He holds an MEng in Aeronautical Engineering from Imperial College London (2009-2013) and a DPhil in Control from the University of Oxford (2013-2017). His career includes a UK Intelligence Community Research Fellowship (2020-2023) from the Royal Academy of Engineering, focusing on battery technology and control systems.

His research spans lithium-ion battery modeling, nonlinear systems analysis, and neural network applications in control. Key areas include battery management systems, Lyapunov stability theory, and robustness certificates for neural networks. He leads the Engineering You're Hired initiative and coordinates student-led projects.

Drummond’s work bridges academic research and practical engineering, with grants totaling £200,000 as PI for battery safety innovation. He teaches advanced control design (ACS317) and physical systems (ACS133). Recent publications emphasize battery modeling, additive manufacturing control, and neural network integration with control systems.

Award: UK Intelligence Community Research Fellowship (2020-2023).
