Felician is a Professor in Automotive Reliability Engineering and Director of the Automotive Research Centre. He holds a PhD in Reliability from Brunel University (1998) and a Mechanical / Manufacturing Engineering Degree from Transilvania University (1990). Worked in the bearings industry before joining Academia as a lecturer in manufacturing automation. Has joined University of Bradford in 1998 as a Research Fellow, and progressed to Senior Research Fellow (2000), Senior Lecturer in Competitive Design (2005), and Professor in 2011. Has led the Bradford Engineering Quality Improvement Centre (since 2000) which is a major hub for collaborative applied research and knowledge transfer. Has led several major programmes of workplace based research and postgraduate development including the MSC by research / MPhil / PhD in Engineering Quality Improvement (partnership with Ford Motor Company) and the MSc in Engineering and Process Excellence (partnership with Jaguar Land Rover - Technical Accreditation Scheme) - underpinned by a programme of research led short courses
