Summary/Biography:

After graduating from Brunel University in 1985 with a BSc in the Special Engineering Programme, Dr Campbell worked as a design engineer, first in Ford Motor Company, and later in the Rover Group. Most of his design experience in both companies was with internal combustion engines. In 1989, he was appointed as a Senior Teaching Fellow for CAD/CAM at the University of Warwick. This gave him the opportunity to raise his awareness of CAD/CAM technology and practices. He remained in this position for four years, during which time, he undertook a part-time MSc degree by research. In 1993, he obtained a lectureship at the University of Nottingham where he was a member of the Rapid Prototyping Research Group. His principle area of research was the integration of rapid prototyping into the design process and he gained his PhD in 1998. He moved to Loughborough University in October 2000. His publications include four edited books, thirty academic journal articles and over seventy other research outputs.Funding sources for his research have included EPSRC, the Royal Society, EC Framework V, the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission and the National Research Foundation of South Africa.
