J. Bruce C. Davies received the degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology in 1970 and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, U.K., in 1982 and 1996, respectively.
After graduating from the University of Manchester, his first appointment was as Graduate Development Engineer with British Leyland Tractor Division. In 1975, now a Senior Development Engineer (Tractors), he left to join Balmore Hydraulics, Ltd., initially as Chief Engineer, but from 1977 to 1982 as Technical Director. During this period, the company expanded into the design and manufacture of equipment for the Offshore Oil and Petrochemical Processing Industries. In 1982, he moved to Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, U.K., as a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering. He is currently a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical and Chemical Engineering at Heriot-Watt with research interests in the areas of design and manufacture, underwater robotics, and medical engineering.
