Paul Campbell
University of Technology, Jamaica
Paul Campbell has over twenty years of experience in various fields of engineering, and especially in matters related to energy efficiency, renewable energy systems, and how this intersects with social and environmental sustainability. He
holds a bachelors degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Chemical Engineering, where he specialized in environmental systems, and he holds masters and doctoral degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University, where his research in the Thermosciences Division focused on the use of biomass resources for the energy sector.
As an Associate Professor at the University of Technology, Jamaica, he was responsible for teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in engineering mechanics, thermodynamics, energy conversion and heat transfer, and advanced engineering analysis. He has also served as administrator over the school’s agricultural engineering undergraduate course and the Master of Science in Engineering. He is also a founding member of the Jamaica Society of Energy Engineers.
As a researcher, Paul has worked within the university's Energy Unit which is dedicated to investigating and implementing renewable and sustainable energy innovations and practices for Jamaica and the wider Caribbean. He is also a 3rd generation farmer, and therefore nurtures agricultural and environmental interests to compliment his expertise in energy.
