Background
Fergus Crawley completed his MSc at Cranfield University in Advanced Mechanical Engineering and BEng at the University of Salford (Manchester) in Mechanical Engineering, with a year in industry working on new product development for a Combined Heat & Power (CHP) manufacturer. During his time as a Research Assistant at Cranfield he has been actively involved in design and prototyping thermoelectric systems for the Gates foundation: NMT project and Innovate UK Energy Catalyst: Solar Energy Harvesting project.
Current activities
Fergus is currently an ICASE PhD researcher at Cranfield University focusing on small-form mm scale kinetic energy harvesting devices. He is also involved as a research assistant for the projects:
- Innovate UK Energy Catalyst project 'A CSP and TFG hybrid energy system
- Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation: Re-invent the toilet challenge
- Solar Hydrogen Production systems
