Overview

Dr Peter Thomas is a lecturer in Aerospace Engineering in the School of Engineering and Technology at the University of Hertfordshire. He lectures in the areas of flight mechanics, stability and control systems, aeroelasticity, and aerodynamics. He has significant experience in experimental testing; the implementation, modelling, and simulation of flight control and autonomous systems; as well as a decade worth of programming experience, including MATLAB/Simulink. His main research interests are in nonlinear flight dynamics and control systems and biomechanical systems.

After completing his MEng (Warw) in mechanical engineering and PhD (Cran) in aerospace engineering Peter worked at the Department of Aerospace Engineering in the University of Bristol, working with Cobham Mission Equipment on the ASTRAEA programme for autonomous air-to-air refuelling of unmanned aerial vehicles. He then worked at the Engineering Design Centre in the University of Cambridge, with industrial partners on developing evolutionary human-machine interfaces (HMI) for aerospace applications. He also worked on a number of other internal and industrial collaborations including experimental flight testing, bio-inspired flight control, and the implementation of technology-focused methods for engineering education.

Adrienne Yong

Overview

Adrienne has been a Lecturer in Law in the School of Law at the University of Hertfordshire since September 2015. She completed an LLB (Hons) at Durham University with First Class Honours in 2011, and an LLM in European Union Law at King's College London in 2012 with Distinction, before joining the PhD programme at King's in October 2012. She submitted in September 2015 and is awaiting her viva.

At Hertfordshire, Adrienne teaches European Law (Year 2), Land Law (Year 2) and Trusts & Equity (Year 3). Prior to this, Adrienne was a visiting tutor in European Law (Year 1) in 2013/14 at King's College London and guest lectured on the King's College London Summer School course in European Law in July 2013. She then convened and lectured on the JESIE/Education Gateway Summer School Programme at King's College London in August 2014. She was Research Assistant to Dr. Cian Murphy in 2013, Prof. Peer Zumbansen in 2014 and Dr. Oana Stefan in 2015.

Adrienne's thesis critically examines the development of Union citizenship rights in the European Union and its relationship with fundamental rights protection in the Court of Justice of the EU, with a particular focus on the effects of the Eurocrisis and increasing Euroscepticism on its decisions in these areas. Her research interests extend to the relationship citizenship has with identity, its disparities at the European Union and national level, legal and political theories of citizenship in the transnational global realm and legitimacy and solidarity in the EU.

Overview

I am Professor of Philosophy at the University of Hertfordshire, Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and an intenrational collaborator of the Centre de Recherche en Éthique (CRÉ) in Montréal. I was previously Professor of Philosophy at Oxford Brookes University and Visiting Fellow at the Collegium for Advanced Studies in Helsinki. I received my first degree from St Anne's College, Oxford and my PhD from the University of Reading.

 

RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research lies primarily in philosophy of action and its explanation. My first monograph, The Things We Do and Why We Do Them was published in 2012.  I am now working on a book on the Philosophy of Understanding (for Yale University Press) and a textbook on the Philosophy of Action (for Wiley-Blackwell). Other projects include a monograph on Action in Ethics, a book on Hume's Philosophy of Action, and a book on Wittgenstein on Understanding Others. I have published numerous books and  articles on these and other topics, from moral psychology to heritage ethics. Current projects include a collaboration with Microsoft Research on a three-year funded project (2015-18) on reasons for communication.


UNDERGRADUATE TEACHING

I teach moral philosophy at second year ('The Right and the Good') and third year ('Contemporary Moral Philosophy') undergraduate level.

GRADUATE SUPERVISION

Philosophy of Action; Moral Psychology; Meta-ethics; Reasons & Explanation; Philosophy of Communication; Cultural Heritage Ethics; Hume, Wittgenstein.

Research interests

My research has always broadly related to food and farming, whether it concerns using the countryside for environmental education, rural livelihoods, or nutrient balances in farming systems. A key theme underpinning all of my research concerns the process of public participation in science, and transdsiciplinary research involving collaboration between academic researchers and practitioners.  My research comes under the following themes:


Environmental education and public understanding of science. Current research focuses on outdoor learning and the relationships between children and nature. Fieldwork concerns educational access and forest school programmes which connect farming and countryside management to educational opportunities. I held a British Science Association media fellowship in 2008, working with BBC radio 4, and have written about science and the media.


Interdisciplinary and Research Practices, incorporating issues of transdisciplinarity and participatory research. Interdisciplinary research methods underpin much of my research on natural resource management in developing countries, and were the focus of DEFRA and ESRC-RELU research projects in the UK. Currently I am working on a grant form the ESRC funded Nexus programme concerning Trnasdiscplinary envionrmental research at the food, water, energy and environment nexus: a review of approaches to knowledge co-production. See http://thenexusnetwork.org/projects/thinkpiece-2014-harris/


Natural Resource Management, where my interests cover community-based natural resource management, sustainable livelihoods, peri-urban agriculture, soil fertility management in smallholder farming systems, and crop-livestock integration. Farmer-participatory research methods have been employed in fieldwork in the UK, and also developing countries, particularly Nigeria but also other areas of semi-arid west Africa and India, Brazil, Zimbabwe.

My research concerns the ways in which the legacy of past violence and destruction is negotiated through images and built environments. I study the mutual impact between the materialities that are taken to bear this legacy and discourses of recovery or reconciliation. I focus especially on the various, often conflicting, notions of 'publicness' and 'truth' produced as a result of this mutual impact. In addition to art and architectural theory, anthropology is a field that is key to my research as I employ its methods and engage with its debates. My geographical specialism is Turkey and the surrounding regions. I have written for academic journals such as Theory & Event, the Journal of Urban Design, the International Journal of Islamic Architecture, andContemporary Armenian Studies as well as more accessible platforms such as Failed Architecture and various architectural design magazines and newspapers.
