David Mba is the vice chancellor of Birmingham City University, UK[2][1]. He was awarded the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Ludwig Mond Prize in 2010 for his contributions to the chemical industry.[3] He serves on the advisory board of the Association for Black and Minority Ethnic Engineers (AFBE-UK).[4]
Education
[edit]Mba studied aerospace engineering at the University of Hertfordshire. He joined Cranfield University for his doctoral studies where he was awarded a PhD in 1998 for research supervised by R. H. Bannister.[5][6]
Career and research
[edit]Mba was awarded the Lord King Norton Gold medal for his thesis.[7] He joined Cranfield University as a lecturer in 2001. Here he led Turbo-machinery group.[8] Mba was made the Dean of School of Engineering at London South Bank University in 2014.[8] He serves on the advisory board of the Association for Black and Minority Ethnic Engineers (AFBE-UK). He collaborated with AFBE-UK to try and improve the representation of black and minority ethnic engineers London South Bank University.[9][10] He was made the Pro Vice-Chancellor and Dean of Computing and Engineering at De Montfort University in August 2017.[7] He works on the gearbox of helicopters and ways to monitor their health.[11][12][13] On the 18 July 2023, Birmingham City University announced Mba's appointment as new Vice-Chancellor, replacing Philip Plowden[14]
