    Professor Jon Carrotte

    Research Chair

    Professor Jon Carrotte is the


    Rolls-Royce/Royal Academy of
    Engineering Research Chair in
    Aerothermal Technology. Having
    been awarded in 2012, he will hold
    this position until 2017 to develop
    an applied research programme at
    Loughborough University focused
    on aerothermal characteristics of
    gas-turbine combustion systems in
    aircraft engines.
    “The Research Chair has provided the time to plan and
    implement a UK research strategy to meet the future
    technical challenges associated with the development of
    future low emission, gas turbine combustion systems.”
