The Department of Mechanical Engineering is very sad to announce the death of Professor Peter Cawley on 2 November.

Peter joined Mechanical Engineering as a Lecturer in 1981 and his distinguished career spanned interests in education, research, industry and commercialisation. He helped found the Research Centre in NDE and co-created several successful spin-out companies. He was made a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and of the Royal Society, served as Head of Department for seven years, was awarded the ImperiaMedal and was appointed Associate Dean for Enterprise.

As well as his globally renowned achievements in the field of Nondestructive Evaluation, he will be remembered as a kind and inspirational colleague.
