Professor James Windmill

I’m a Professor in Electronic and Electrical Engineering. I gained a PhD in magnetic microscopy from the University of Plymouth in 2002, and worked at the School of Biological Sciences, University of Bristol, from 2003 to 2008. I also hold a first degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Plymouth. I joined the University of Strathclyde as a lecturer in 2008. I was promoted to senior lecturer in 2011, reader in 2014, then professor in 2017. My research focuses on the investigation of hearing systems in insects to inspire the development of new acoustic and ultrasonic sensors and systems. I am also interested in sustainable engineering through the process of remanufacturing, the development of new biomedical sensors, and the use of ultrasound in manufacturing. I am Director of the Centre for Ultrasonic Engineering at Strathclyde, and have featured in more than 100 publications. I’m also the Director of the Leverhulme Doctoral School in Nature Inspired Acoustics, and the Co-Director of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Ultrasonic Engineering.
