Biography

Paul H Riley, PhD, FIET, MIoD Chartered Engineer former Hon Professor at City, University of London Currently Applications Engineer in the PEMC group at the University with 37 peer reviewed journal and conference papers, 9 Patents, The University of Nottingham Vice Chancellor's award for achievement 2013, Siemens Stiftung "Empowering People" finalist, €5000 prize in 2013. Previously Score Project Director at the University of Nottingham, he has obtained 6 grants with a value of nearly £3M. He has wide and deep experience of the complete innovation value chain and is currently the driving force behind the Score-Stove™ project; a low smoke wood burning cooking stove that also generates electricity. As main-board Technical Director of Ramtech Electronics Limited he reduced manufacturing costs by 28% to improve the profit margin of the £3M company. At Rolls Royce (Aerospace), he managed many £multi-million and international projects and was pivotal in improving the reliability of engine-borne electronic control systems; he approved the electronic-engine-control certificate for the RB211 535 E4, (at the time it became the most reliable aeroengine in the world) that powers most people on their holidays as it is the engine on the Boeing 757 aircraft. As Principle Industrial Investigator on the £2M SPEDE project for 3 years from 1997, he managed the RR research suites at Warwick and the Knowledge Management suite in the Psychology department at Nottingham. As Assistant Chief Design Engineer of the 29 strong mechanical designers his successes include reduced the compressor front casing manufacturing lead time by 90%, and compressor blades to 6 weeks from what used to be 6 months.
