Professor Dr. John Christy

Biography

John Christy is an academic in the field of Chemical Engineering, currently serving as the Assistant Director of Learning and Teaching for Curriculum Delivery at the School of Engineering. He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh, where he focused on investigating the correlation of milk clot deposition flow characteristics, gaining insights into thrombosis in blood flows. Born in Bangor, Northern Ireland, he studied Chemical Engineering at the University of Cambridge from 1978 to 1982. His research interests primarily lie in unsteady state fluid mechanics, specifically in developing in-vitro pre-clinical tests for thrombosis in artificial mechanical valves. He is actively involved in studying flow instabilities in boiling heat transfer with applications in microelectronics cooling. In addition to his research, he serves as the Undergraduate Selector for the Chemical Engineering program and as a convenor for the Chemical Engineering Board Examiners, providing guidance and support to students in the discipline.
