Dr. Felix Leach is an Associate Professor of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, a post held jointly with that of Fellow and Tutor in Engineering Science at Keble College. His research interests are in emissions and efficiency of thermal propulsion systems and air quality. He has had a particular focus on particulate emissions from gasoline direct injection engines and developing a fundamental understanding of NOxemissions from diesel engines. He has spent over a decade working in close collaboration with industry using world-leading measurement capabilities to help develop a clean engine for the 21st century. Dr. Leach founded the annual Oxford Air Quality Meeting which draws together experts in vehicle emissions, air quality measurement, public health, and policy. Dr. Leach holds MEng and DPhil degrees in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford and is a Chartered Engineer and Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and a member of the Society of Automotive Engineers.
