Biography

Dr Garland is a Principle Academic and Lead for Professional Accreditation in the department of Design & Engineering at the Faculty of Science and Technology. His research areas include tribology, the environmental impacts of design selection and sustainable development in design education.

Dr Garland has carried out research works into the sustainable design of hydrocarbon refrigerants applied to the hermetic compressor. This research was funded by the EPSRC and investigated the tribological effects of refrigerant selection and subsequent environmental impacts.

He has investigated the disparity between the business and academic perspectives of sustainable development leading to new methods for embedding sustainability within the curriculum, developing experimental problem based learning practice for design engineers.

More recently he introduced the use of intelligent systems engineering into design engineering projects through novel integration of edge computing with PLC controlled processes...
