Christian Matthews is the Director of the School of Engineering at Liverpool John Moores University.
He is a member of LOOM (Liverpool Logistics, Offshore and Marine Research Institute), a Chartered member of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers and a fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
Christian received his MEng degree in Mechanical Systems & Design Engineering from the University of Liverpool, UK in 2003. He subsequently joined the Powertrain Control Group as a postgraduate research student where his research interests were modelling, system identification and robust control methodologies applied to powertrain systems and transient powertrain testing systems. He received his PhD from the University of Liverpool in December 2007 for his thesis entitled 'Identification and Robust Control of Automotive Dynamometers'.
