Dr. Nathan Darroch
Honorary Research Fellow
University of Aberdeen
Dr Darroch was employed within London Underground for 12 1/2 years as an asset manager. He is currently an Honorary Research fellow at the University of Aberdeen and a lecturer on railway asset management at London South Bank University, UK. His professional and academic work has seen him analyse over 2000 occurrences of railway infrastructure interfacing with its environment through legal, engineering, urban and transport planning and historical perspectives.
Dr Darroch is currently leading the University of Aberdeen AIR research project to develop standardised approaches to the analysis of the multi-disciplinary interfaces of railway infrastructure and its environment. The project aims to develop standardised manual and Artificial Intelligence approaches to the identification, gathering and sharing of multi-disciplinary meta-data applicable to those interfaces of railway infrastructure and its environment. Thus saving railway organisations time and money in archival analysis, whilst enhancing the safe presence and operation of railway infrastructure and its environment.
