Phil Carden: Technical Specialist - Design Analysis, Ricardo

Mr Phil Carden is a Technical Specialist in the engine design analysis department at Ricardo. He has long experience of making calculations to support the design of the moving parts of internal combustion engines (pistons, connecting rods, crankshafts, bearings, valvetrains, timing drives etc.). Phil has worked on numerous engine design and research projects in the area of tribology and is particularly interested in the calculation and measurement of engine friction. He has advised numerous clients on the design of engines to reduce friction losses.

Patrick Bauer: Development Technologist, BP

Having studied Business Administration & Engineering at RWTH Aachen University, Patrick graduated in 2013 with a Master of Science. He joined BP Germany’s graduate scheme consisting of three placements which was spent in the Manual Transmission Product development team in Hamburg and at BP’s Global Fuels Technology Centre Bochum in the Engine and Vehicle Lab as well as in the Technology Deployment team. Having finished the graduate scheme he continued to work in Technology Deployment until the end of 2016. Since 2017, he holds the role of a Development Technologist in the Castrol Driveline Technology Centre in Hamburg focussing on manual transmission fluids as well as e-fluids.
