Dr. Andrew Clennel Palmer is Professor of Civil Engineering at the National University of Singapore, where he is engaged in the Centre for Offshore Research and Engineering program of teaching and research. He was selected as the first Jafar Research Professor of Petroleum Engineering in the Department of Engineering of Cambridge University. A Fellow of Churchill College Cambridge, he was engaged in the development of research and teaching in the broad field of petroleum at Cambridge. Dr. Palmer has also held faculty positions at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology and the University of Liverpool. He spent the academic year 2002-2003 on sabbatical leave as a visiting professor in the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. His research is on pipeline buckling, trenching and backfill, Arctic offshore construction, drilling and ice mechanics. He has written four books-on structural mechanics, subsea pipelines, dimensional analysis and offshore engineering in the Arctic-and more than 250 scientific papers and technical articles on plasticity, soil mechanics, structures, pipelines, risk and reliability, ice and permafrost. He is the named inventor on four patents. A consulting engineer, Dr. Palmer is principally engaged with pipelines and Arctic construction. Currently, he is Managing Director of Bold Island Engineering (Singapore) Limited.
