University College Falmouth (UCF) has appointed Professor Philip Moore to the positions of Pro Rector (Research & Innovation) and director of the Academy for Innovation & Research (AIR).
Professor Moore was the director of research at De Montfort University (DMU), where a key part of his role was to develop interdisciplinary research and building capacity.
Working with staff across a number of faculties, he helped establish the Institute of Creative Technologies. The institute where he worked operates at the arts-technologies interface and, working with companies large and small, has initiated interdisciplinary projects worth over £6 million.
