Anthony John Moses

Since his retirement in 2012, Professor Moses has been an Emeritus Professor in Electrical Engineering at Cardiff University, UK, where he keeps an active interest in the properties, characterisation and applications of soft magnetic materials

In the same year Prof. Thompson retired and Prof. Moses became the new director of the Wolfson Centre. In 2001 the Wolfson Centre was awarded the status of the European Centre of Excellence.

In 2000 Moses was introduced to Queen Elizabeth II, who visited Cardiff University.

He participated in realization of government and industrial research contracts. In the last 10 years of his directorship he supervised contracts valued at over 5 million pounds. Within the period 1998–2000 he was the chairman of steering committee of Materials Forum in Wales, member of several scientific societies (e.g. IEE and IEEE), member of Steering Group and Editorial Boards of several scientific conferences (e.g. Soft Magnetic Materials Conference and International Workshop on 1 & 2 Dimensional Magnetic Measurement and Testing). His teaching experience comprises the coordination of two Tempus Projects. He also directed teaching schemes of postgraduate studies and PhD studies in electrical engineering and magnetic materials technology at Cardiff University, supervised over 50 PhD students and of 60 higher degree projects, organised short courses and open days at the Wolfson Centre.

After gaining the PhD degree, he started to work for Wolfson Centre for the Technology of Soft Magnetic Materials, at the time directed by Prof. Jack. E. Thompson. At the Wolfson Centre Moses proceeded as a research fellow, lecturer, senior lecturer, reader and finally a professor. He was awarded Doctor of Science by the University of Wales in 1990.

Under Moses directorship the Wolfson Centre co-operated closely with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of Lublin University of Technology, Poland in 1980s and 1990s. The partnership resulted in numerous scientific papers, staff mobility and student exchange programmes. Several other international partners were participating, including South Bank University, London and Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig. All this contributed to obtaining the status of the European Centre of Excellence for the Application of Superconducting and Plasma Technologies in Power Engineering (ASPPECT) based at the Institute of Electrical Engineering and Electrotechnologies of Lublin University of Technology.

He returned to the university and carried out a PhD studies at UWIST, where he graduated in 1970.

Moses completed his BEngTech with first class honours in 1961. After gaining a first class honours degree in Electrical Engineering at University of Wales, Institute of Science and Technology (UWIST) in 1966, he worked as a design engineer at GKN Birwelco Limited.

Anthony John Moses (born 12 October 1942, in Newport) is a Welsh scientist, researcher and professor, former director of Wolfson Centre for Magnetics.

In 2003 Lublin University of Technology celebrated its 50th anniversary. Using the occasion the Senate of the university approved the opinion elaborated by Prof. Bolesław Mazurek on the scientific, educational and organisational output of Prof. Moses and promoted the title of Doctor Honoris Causa of Lublin University of Technology to Prof. Anthony John Moses on 14 May 2003, after the Senate resolution No 40/3/2002-2005.
