Mike Bromfield is a Chartered Engineer and Chartered Ergonomist/Human Factors Specialist affording a unique perspective and understanding of complex, ‘human in the loop’ systems. Mike is Deputy Aerospace Programme Director and a Senior Lecturer in Aerospace Engineering within the School of Metals & Materials at the University of Birmingham.Mike divides his time between teaching (aviation safety, flight dynamics, flight test and flight simulation at undergraduate and postgraduate levels). research and consultancy activities. Mike is a trained flight test engineer. He is a Fellow of The Royal Aeronautical Society, Member of the Institute of Ergonomists and Human Factors, Member of The Society of Flight Test Engineers and American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics. In 2014, Mike was (jointly) awarded the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Bronze Medal for a ‘Best Written Journal Paper’ and in the same year he was awarded the ‘Pete Clark Award’ by the UK Light Aircraft Association for his contribution to aviation safety. Mike is a private pilot and holds EASA PPL(A), UK NPPL(M) and Australian PPL (A) licences.Mike’s current research activities include the investigation of Loss of Control In Flight (LOC-I) encompassing prevention, recognition and recovery strategies. This research encompasses aircraft design, flight safety technologies, pilot education and training and use of flight data for continuous safety improvement. In his work, he makes extensive use of flight dynamics, flight testing, flight simulation/modelling and human factors principles.Mike has completed a number of international collaborative research projects with both industry and academia including UK CAA/DfT, EASA, Breitling (Red Bull) Air Race Team, UBER Elevate, Purdue University, UNSW, USP (Brazil).Prior to joining the University of Birmingham, Mike was Urban Air Mobility Lead in the Institute for Future Transport and Cites, Coventry University, involved in future aerospace vehicle design, including Electric Vertical Take-off & Landing (eVTOL) vehicles.Before joining Coventry whilst at Brunel University, Mike was awarded the Thomas Gerald Gray Charitable Trust PhD Scholarship in Aviation Safety and became a part-time lecturer in Aerospace. He was active in LOC-I research with particular interests in pilot workload and performance related to aircraft flying qualities. Mike was involved in industry-driven collaborative research into Loss of Control events. His teaching included modules in Aviation Safety, Flight Testing and Flight Simulation.
