Arnaud Marotin

Senior Lecturer in Engineering
Dr Arnaud Marotin

Background

Dr Arnaud Marotin is a Senior Lecturer in Engineering at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, with over 20 years of experience in higher education and industry. He holds a PhD in computational modelling, an MSc in engineering, and a PGCE in post-compulsory education. Arnaud teaches across undergraduate programmes, specialising in thermofluid mechanics, data analysis, and computational methods. His teaching is grounded in applied learning and the use of tools such as Matlab. He leads the part-time and degree apprenticeship provision within the School of Engineering, focusing on programme coordination and curriculum delivery. While previously active in research, his current work centres on teaching excellence and academic leadership.

Professional and/or Research Experience

Dr Arnaud Marotin began his career as a Development Engineer at Bookham Technology Plc, working in photonics research and development. He later joined Swansea Metropolitan University as a Research Associate, where he contributed to postdoctoral research on boundary element methods for modelling thermal and radiative transport. Since 2008, he has taught engineering modules at foundation, undergraduate, and postgraduate levels, including Thermofluid Mechanics, Computational Methods, Data Analysis, and Matlab programming. Arnaud currently focuses on teaching and academic leadership, managing several part-time and apprenticeship-based engineering programmes at UWTSD. His responsibilities include curriculum development, programme coordination, and quality assurance. He has served on university committees and acted as internal examiner for doctoral and master’s degrees.
