Graham graduated with an MEng (Hons) Aeronautical Engineering from Imperial College in 2003 and successfully completed his PhD in Tribology in 2019. Graham continues to be involved in research with the Jost Institute of Tribotechnology, continuing the work from his PhD relating to the piston-ring lubrication in marine diesel engines. This research is concerned with the use of online oil-film thickness monitoring in feedback control systems in order to reduce cylinder oil consumption and enable the use of fuel-switching and other emission/fuel consumption reduction strategies without the adverse wear effects these can often lead to. Graham is also on the supervisory team for a PhD study looking into the reduction of piston-ring friction losses in automotive engines. Graham also course leader of the Motorsport courses at UCLan and teaches across several engineering courses in a variety of subject areas. Most of his teaching responsibility relates to modules on the Motorsport course, including the Motorsport Vehicle Design and Development modules in which students design and manufacture the Formula Student car. He also teaches a range of subjects such as mechanics, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and vehicle dynamics on the Motorsport Mechanics and Systems modules at levels 5, 6 and 7. Prior to joining UCLan, Graham spent several years as a product engineer for a Lancashire based company that designed and manufactured automotive components.
