BIOGRAPHY

Dr Eddie Blanco-Davis is a Reader in Marine Engineering for the School of Engineering. He started his position as a Senior Lecturer and a member of the Liverpool Logistics Offshore and Marine Research Institute (LOOM) in 2015.

Eddie obtained a BSc in Marine Engineering and Shipyard Management from the United States Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point, N.Y., in 2004, and sailed shortly as a member of the engine department on different commercial containerships.

After carrying out water and fuel treatment servicing for various industry diesel-powered generation plants, he performed as a project manager collectively for 4 years at repair shipyards in Panama and Mexico. He has previously worked for Braswell International Shipyard, Bender Shipbuilding & Repair Co., and Ashland Specialty Chemical Co.

He also holds an MSc and a PhD from the Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.

His research interests include human factors applied to shipboard and pilotage operations; Life Cycle Assessment applied to marine operations and machinery; sustainable development, energy efficiency, renewable energy; marine environmental protection and regulation, including emission control, ship ballast water management and alternatives, and environmentally sound marine propulsion systems.
