Contact Dr Jeremy Gidney
Background
Dr Jeremy Gidney has gained extensive experience in engine and vehicle emissions having worked for 31 years with Johnson Matthey developing exhaust aftertreatment systems and prior to that at BP oil researching the effects of fuel properties and additives on wear and emissions. He is an expert on emissions measurement technologies and particulate characterisation, has led the construction and upgrade of global test facilities and has developed novel test rigs for catalyst performance evaluation. As a research assistant and PhD student at the University of Liverpool, Jeremy investigated the relationship between in-cylinder turbulence intensty and combustion stability for homogeneous charge spark ignition engines. Jeremy has been a work package leader for a number of EU Horizon and Innovate UK projects concerned with developing future diesel, gasoline and hybrid vehicles and a gas turbine range extender.
Research opportunities
Jeremy is supporting the HyEST and MINIMAL projects at Cranfield, focussing on combustion and emissions, particularly for hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuels.
Current activities
HCCI engine and micromix gas turbine hydrogen combustion, testing and evaluation.
