Background
Pro-Vice-Chancellor International since 2018, Simon leads Cranfield’s global
mission. Simon has deep experience in business growth, having led
both a Cranfield School and the international partnership and student recruitment service unit. An environmental engineer
and Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, Simon’s research in
environmental risk and resilience has been funded by the US Water Research
Foundation, by UKRI and Defra. He gained
his DSc in 2009, was elected FREng in 2017 and was awarded an OBE in 2020.
Research opportunities
I am interested in supervising / co-supervising self-funded research
students with a research interest in:
·
risk and resilience policy and regulation
· risk governance in the water, energy or environment sectors
·
'next generation' sustainability - circular economy, industrial
sustainability, green economy
Current activities
I have been developing improved approaches to the governance of environmental risks since 1987. In concert, the work seeks to reconcile society's unease about pollution with organisational and regulatory responsibilities for its reduction and safe management. My scholarship has been to the practical fields of environmental engineering, risk management, policy analysis and corporate governance. Recent papers examine organisational competencies in risk management in the international water sector, as it responds to calls for sustained service levels under constrained access to finance, climate change and water scarcity. We learn that good risk governance makes organisations, systems and communities resilient. When done well, it creates lasting value, social and reputational capital. My publications can be reviewed on ORCID and ResearchGate.
