Our faculty and staff

Professor Igor Guz joined Heriot-Watt as the Executive Dean of Engineering & Physical Sciences in 2021. Prior to this, Igor has worked at various positions in Aberdeen, Vienna, Stuttgart, Paderborn, Cambridge, and Imperial College London. Igor's main research interests are in solid mechanics and his lifelong research in advanced anisotropic materials (particularly those with strong internal heterogeneities occurring at multiple scales), fracture mechanics, nanomaterials, vibrations control, coupled thermos-electro-mechanical problems.

Our school is built upon the disciplines of Chemistry, Physics, Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Engineering. Our faculty has the expertise to tackle a wide range of challenging and important problems ranging from the truly fundamental to the fully applied and to provide high-level, specialised training to satisfy the needs of modern industry.
