John Christy was born in Bangor, N. Ireland in 1959. Following his education at the local grammar school, he studied Chemical Engineering at the University of Cambridge from 1978 to 1982. Teaching Process Synthesis within Chemical Engineering 1 Plant Engineering 2 (pipework systems, control and compressible flow) Design Exercises in 4th year (reactor and heat exchanger designs) Polymer Science and Engineering 5 (polymer reaction engineering) Separation Processes 5 (advanced distillation) Study projects, Industrial projects and Research projects Specialities Current research interests are in the area of unsteady state fluid mechanics. Research continues on the development of an in-vitro, pre-clinical test for thrombosis on artificial mechanical valves. Work underway also involves the study of flow instabilities in boiling heat transfer, with applications in microelectronics cooling Further Information Undergraduate Selector Convenor of Chemical Engineering Board of Examiners Personal Tutor
