Prof. Mulgrew received his B.Sc. degree in 1979 from Queen's University Belfast. After graduation, he worked for 4 years as a Development Engineer in the Radar Systems Department at Ferranti, Edinburgh.

From 1983-1986 he was a research associate in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Edinburgh.

He was appointed to lectureship in 1986, received his Ph.D. in 1987, promoted to senior lecturer in 1994 and became a reader in 1996.

The University of Edinburgh appointed him to a Personal Chair in October 1999 (Professor of Signals and Systems).

He currently holds the Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Signal Processing.

His research interests are in adaptive signal processing and estimation theory and in their application to radar and audio systems.

Prof. Mulgrew is a co-author of three books on signal processing.

The Chair of Future Infrastructure is a new post designed to help policymakers address large-scale challenges in transport and utilities. Professor Masterton will oversee a Centre for Future Infrastructure which will draw upon world-leading expertise in fire safety and structural engineering, granular materials, railway engineering, non-destructive testing and large-scale data acquisition and analysis. Professor Masterton will embark on research to aid decision-making on appropriate infrastructure projects. He will also apply his industry experience to direct research into safe and successful project delivery. He also hopes to study infrastructure in Scotland’s urban and rural mixed economy, as a model to help to address problems created by world class cities in other less populated countries.

Background Experience

Until 2015, Professor Masterton was Vice-President of Jacobs Engineering. He is a past president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, past president of the Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scotland, former chairman of the Construction Industry Council, former Vice Chairman of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland, and founder and current Chairman of the Scottish Engineering Hall of Fame. Professor Masterton was the UK Government's project representative on the £15bn Crossrail development in London – Europe’s largest construction project to date. Recently, he was appointed a member of the Independent Assurance Panel for the HS2 high-speed rail link. Professor Masterton brings more than 35 years of industry experience and leadership of major infrastructure design, construction and commissioning to his new post.
