Linda Newnes PhD, AMIEE
Dr Linda Newnes is a Senior Lecturer in Manufacturing in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath. Her earlier work focused on the design and operation of manufacturing systems. Using this design and optimisation knowledge she has since focused on systems optimisation using e.g. experimental design approaches and using her knowledge on optimisation and parametrics in the area of cost prediction. This focus on process optimisation, IDEF and cost estimating is why she is an investigator on the recently awarded ‘Grand Challenge’ - Immortal Information and Through-life Knowledge Management. She is also a member of the EPSRC funded Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre (IMRC) at the University of Bath as well as the Innovative electronic Manufacturing Research Centre (IeMRC) where she is one of the seven investigators and a member of the executive committee. She has published more than 60 research papers and is a member of the EPSRC review college.
