Dr Jonathan Scholey
Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering
Summary
Dr Jonathan Scholey joined Ï㽶ÊÓƵ in August 2017 as a Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering.
He is a Chartered Engineer with over 8 years' of engineering consultancy experience, primarily working on the design and substantiation of mechanical systems in the nuclear industry.
Jonathan has research experience in quantitative acoustic emission, with particular interests in acoustic source location and characterisation.
About
Dr Jonathan Scholey gained an MEng (Hons) degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Bristol in 2004. He then pursued PhD studies, also at the University of Bristol, on the topic of quantitative acoustic emission, and was awarded his PhD in 2008.
In 2009 Jonathan joined Atkins Ltd as an engineering consultant. In this role Jonathan undertook design and substantiation work for high integrity mechanical systems in the nuclear industry.
In 2017 Jonathan returned to academia and joined Ï㽶ÊÓƵ as a Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering. He contributes to teaching across a range of courses and modules, with a focus on solid mechanics, dynamics and design.
Jonathan is a Chartered Engineer and a Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). Jonathan has a keen interest in the affairs of the IMechE and he chairs the IMechE's Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Area Committee.
