Jude Egbue

Background

Jude joined Cranfield University in 2023 as a Research Fellow in SWEE in Energy Engineering centre, specialising in transient ice in fuel engine systems. Following successful completion of the project, Jude moved to SATM in 2024 as a Research Fellow in Fluid Flow Measurements in Centre for Propulsion and Thermal Power Engineering. He is currently supporting the research in thermal fuel degradation of fuel and coking in jet engine systems.

Jude obtained his B.Sc. in Petroleum Engineering from Ufa State Petroleum Technological University, and proceeded to work in Oil and gas industry mostly on offshore projects while employed with Schlumberger in Nigeria in 2015. Having obtained relevant industry experience, Jude proceeded to pursue an MSc degree in Petroleum Engineering from Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) from 2015- 2017.

In 2018, Jude enrolled to Cranfield university for PhD program in Energy and Power, and started working in the University in 2023 following the completion of the program.
