David A. Cardwell, FREng, is a British superconducting engineer.[1] He is a professor of superconducting engineering, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Strategy and Planning at the University of Cambridge, former head of the University of Cambridge Department of Engineering, former co-director of the KACST-Cambridge Research Centre and a fellow of Fitzwilliam College.[2] In 2012, Cardwell was elected as a fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering.[3]
Cardwell studied at the University of Warwick (BSc 1983, PhD 1987).[2] He is a fellow of the Institute of Physics and the Institution of Engineering and Technology.[2]
Professor Cardwell's research interests include the processing, modelling and characterisation of bulk superconductors for high-field engineering applications. Materials of particular interest include high-temperature superconductors within the (RE)BCO family and MgB2.[5] He has authored or co-authored more than 370 published papers.[6]
