Timothy Gordon Walmsley

Senior Lecturer in Process and Energy Engineering, University of Waikato

I am an active researcher and Assistant Director of the Ahuora Centre for Smart Energy Systems with a PhD in Engineering from the University of Waikato, a Docent degree from Brno University of Technology (Czechia), a Chartered Engineer and Member of the Institute of Chemical Engineers in the UK, and a Member of Engineering New Zealand.

My research mission is to create disruptive energy technology and integrated systems to accelerate the decarbonisation of New Zealand’s energy sector. I also relish the privilege to teach and mentor the next generation of chemical, process, mechanical, and energy engineers. Our engineering students have amazing potential, and I enjoy challenging them to have the audacity to become the engineering leaders of the future.
