David Wynn has been researching the design and development process since 2002. After completing a PhD in the area, he worked as a researcher at Cambridge University Engineering Design Centre and then as an engineering professional at Bombardier Aerospace in Montréal. David is currently a senior lecturer in mechanical engineering at the University of Auckland, where he contributes to teaching in every year of the mechanical engineering programme on the topics of design, manufacture and product development. David has also held adjunct appointments at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University and the Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering at the University of Prince Edward Island. He was a fellow of Homerton College, Cambridge for a number of years. He is currently a member of the editorial boards of Research in Engineering Design, Journal of Engineering Design and IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management. David now lives on Waiheke Island in New Zealand with Khadidja and their children Adam, Marie-Anne and Alexander.John Clarkson returned to the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge in 1995 following a seven-year spell with PA Consulting Group's Technology Division. He was appointed director of the Engineering Design Centre in 1997 and a University Professor in 2004. He has been directly involved in the teaching of design at all levels of the undergraduate course. At PA John was Manager of the Advanced Process Group where he gained wide experience of product development with a particular focus on the design of medical equipment and high-integrity systems. John’s research interests are in the general area of engineering design, particularly the development of design methodologies to address specific design issues, for example, process management, change management, healthcare design, inclusive design and automotive design. As well as publishing over 900 papers, he has written and edited a number of books on medical equipment design, inclusive design and process management. He is also Professor of Healthcare Systems in the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering at TU Delft.
