Biography

John Clarkson returned to the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge in 1995 after a seven-year spell with PA Consulting Group's Technology Division. He was appointed director of the Engineering Design Centre in 1997 and became a Full Professor in 2004. He is directly involved in the teaching of design across undergraduate levels. As Manager of the Advanced Process Group at PA, he gained wide experience in product development, with a particular focus on the design of medical equipment and high-integrity systems for clients requiring a risk-based systems approach to ensure the timely delivery of safe systems. His research interests lie in the general area of engineering design, particularly in developing design methodologies to address specific design issues, such as healthcare design, inclusive design, process management, and change management in automotive design. He has published over 800 papers and written or edited several books on medical equipment design, inclusive design, and process management. John leads a team supported by the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Royal College of Physicians, and the Academy of Medical Sciences to develop 'Engineering Better Care', a systems approach for healthcare redesign. He has received numerous awards for his contributions to the field.
