POSITIONS &
ROLES at
NOTT’M
 (2000-). Active teaching Professor – currently convening
modules on Integrated Systems Analysis, Energy Storage
and Control & Instrumentation.
 (2008-). Director of the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre
(UTC) in Gas Turbine Transmission Systems (since 2008). The UTC has
an annual spend of ~£3M. It involves 6 academics and ~25 researchers.
 2017-). Academic Lead for (Nottingham component of) “Energy Research Accelerator”
(ERA). The ERA project is presently in phase 1 and is worth £60M total of which £20M is
being managed through Nottingham. A second phase is being nurtured.
 (2010-). Lead of a research section on thermo-mechanical energy storage. This section,
not yet formally a research group, comprises three post-doctoral research fellows plus two
PhD students and occupies a recognised place in the UK energy storage arena
 (2004-2009). Director of Research for the School of Mechanical, Materials and
Manufacturing Engineering. This school, was the largest of four schools in the Faculty of
Engineering with a research portfolio of ~£60M at the time and Garvey was responsible
for a very successful submission to RAE2008. The school structure was subsequently
dissolved in a move to break partitions in research.
 (2011-2014). Head of Materials, Mechanics and Structures research division. This
collective had a research portfolio of ~£40Min 2014.
EDUCATION  (1984-1988) Aston University in Birmingham. PhD in Electrical Machine Vibration

ACADEMIC
SERVICE
 (2000-) Member of Organising Committees for two major rotordynamics conferences.
IMechE: Vibrations in Rotating Machinery and IFToMM: Rotordynamics.
 (2014-) Founding organiser of “OSES”. Offshore Energy and Storage conference. 2014:
Windsor, Ontario. 2015: Edinburgh, UK. 2016: Malta. 2017: Cape Cod,MA.
 (1997-) Member of EPSRC peer review college.
PRIZES  2010: Arthur Charles Prize for Best Paper, IMechE, Power Industries Division. (SDG#16)
 2011: IEI Engineering Excellence award: Best webcast presentation of 2010.
Research Focus: Garvey is co-author of Dynamics of Rotating Machines [SDG#1] published by
Cambridge University Press: Aerospace Series and of three chapters in Elsevier’s new book on Storing
Energy [SDG#2]-[SDG#3]. He has published extensively on many different aspects of energy storage
([SDG#2]-[SDG#13] are only a subset of his journal papers published on the subject) with some of
these involving particular emphasis on the integration of energy storage with generation (e.g.
[SDG#8]-[SDG#11]) and with several others addressing hybrid energy storage topics specifically (e.g.
[SDG#12] & [SDG#13]) He has also produced several fundamental mathematics papers on a
generalised set of transformation developed by him in the period 1998 – 2002 (e.g. [SDG #14 - #16]).
Garvey’s conference papers outnumber on energy storage outnumber his journal papers by a factor of
~3 but most of these are not mentioned here.
