Dr Moray Newlands

Profile

Moray Newlands graduated with a BEng Honours degree in Civil Engineering (1996) and an MSc in Concrete Technology, Construction and Management (1997) from the University of Dundee. His PhD (2001) within the Concrete Technology Unit (CTU), developed a simulated natural carbonation performance test which is now a CEN Technical Specification (CEN TS 12390-10). A Lecturer within the Division since 2005, he was previously a Research Fellow and CPD/Consultancy Manager for the CTU. He is also currently Secretary for CEN TC51/WG12/TG5 which is developing test methods for concrete performance, and is involved in overseas student recruitment.
