Photo of Professor Timothy Grant Leighton FREng CEng CPhys FInstP FIOA FASATimothy Leighton delivers world-leading engineering advances in acoustics; taking fundamental studies through to applications in oceanography, chemistry, biomedicine and zoology. He has recently devised a new method to more accurately measure gas bubbles in pipelines, which is of vital interest to manufacturing, power and petrochemical industries. While he has advanced knowledge in areas as diverse as whale song and extra-terrestrial sound, he has also delivered pioneering engineering products, processes and practices, from award-winning healthcare to sonar.
