Emeritus Professor and Senior Research Investigator Roger Hobbs was recently featured in Reporter as having 50 years of service.
Professor Hobbs has been associated with Imperial for over 55 years, completing his BSc and PhD here in the 1960s, and later serving as Head of Department in the mid 1990s.
Throughout his career, he has maintained close links with Industry, and is still active in Tension Technology International Ltd, providing design services in moorings for offshore structures, a place where interesting research topics frequently emerge.
He was involved with the EU committee responsible for the development of the steel Eurocode, EC3, and with the latest edition of the OCIMF Mooring Guidelines.
