Daniel Ceng is a STEM leader and Chartered Engineer with nearly two decades of applied R&D experience, currently serving as Dean of the School of Physics, Engineering & Computer Science at the University of Hertfordshire and President of the UK & Ireland Aerosol Society. He has led multidisciplinary teams to secure over £20M in funding and driven major institutional growth, including a 250% expansion in engineering and a role in delivering a new £100M STEM facility. His technical expertise spans biodetection, microfluidics, CFD and autonomous environmental monitoring systems, translating low-TRL concepts into field-ready prototypes for defence, agriculture and public health. Daniel combines academic leadership with hands-on systems design, having acted as chief engineer on projects for the UK MoD and collaborations with Porton Down, industry partners and research councils. He is also an experienced program builder, leading national doctoral training and large consortia such as the Future Biodetection Technologies Hub. A detail not obvious from titles alone: his background includes early hands-on aerospace stress analysis and parish-level financial governance, reflecting both deep technical roots and practical operational experience.
