Distinguished for his contributions to many Royal Navy
programmes in a career spanning the Ministry of Defence, industry and academia,
Paul Wrobel was one of the first to see the cost benefit of building warships
to commercial standards – specifically for HMS Ocean (LPH) and subsequently
HMS Albion & Bulwark (LPD’s). He was Technical Director at Vickers Shipbuilding
and Engineering Ltd during the peak of the TRIDENT submarine programme responsible
for the engineering disciplines. He led a multi-national team for the newly formed
Thales Naval Limited winning the competition for the design of the Future Aircraft
Carrier (CVF) – the Queen Elizabeth-class carriers. He joined QinetiQ at the
beginning of 2004 as the Director of Naval Programmes responsible for setting
strategy across the Naval Domain and acting as a catalyst to transform the business
to a successful international industrial partner. Now in Academia he is the leader
across five Universities of the EPSRC & Industry co-funded project into “Low
Carbon Shipping”.|
