With decades of experience across oil & gas, maritime and renewables, Ahilan will share his industry expertise with engineering students, contributing to curriculum development, mentoring, and the growth of innovative approaches to engineering teaching and learning.
In particular, Ahilan will share his expertise in facilitating and accelerating key energy transition technologies such as electrification, renewable hybridisation, emissions reduction, CCUS and green fuels, while addressing climate change adaptation and resilience.
“The energy transition is a complex challenge that requires both technical expertise and a deep understanding of societal impacts. I look forward to working with the next generation of engineers to shape a secure and sustainable future.”
Dr RV Ahilan, Chief Energy Transition Officer, ABL Group
The Royal Academy of Engineering’s Visiting Professors Scheme invites experienced professionals into UK academia to enhance engineering education, strengthen industry partnerships and improve graduate employability. Through this initiative, Ahilan will help students to bridge the gap between academic learning and the real-world demands of the energy and maritime industries.
Professional training, development and outreach to support students of science, technology, engineering and mathematical (STEM) subjects, are a key element of our corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy, and aligns with our promise to drive the social sustainability of our energy and oceans.
