Mark Marshall

is a qualified Engineer with extensive theoretical and practical experience in high-frequency (HF) high-power industrial/scientific dielectric/induction heating and medical Electrosurgical applications. Including 50 W systems with detailed knowledge of specialist measurement and simulation techniques in the optimization of such HF applications, including the writing of journal papers on the subject area.

Experience also includes Computer-Aided-Engineering (CAE), Advanced Manufacturing Systems (AMS) including production/corporate philosophies, CIM Marketing training and work experience in the German automotive industry.

Complimented with a full clean International Driving License (including Motorcycle) held since 1987.

Petrie Technologies Ltd. Lancashire. Project Engineer.  Management and implementation of RF, Microwave and conventional process heating projects, reporting directly to the Managing Director. Secondment to other core businesses within the group.

1992

Degree Final Year industrial project, in collaboration with British and German manufacturers. I exploited the naturally occurring ‘beat frequency’ effect generated from combining oscillating quartz crystals signals to measure differential temperature to fractions of a milli-kelvin. This new measurement technique is used to determine the real time hydraulic efficiency of fluid pumps.
