Professor Terry Young
Honorary Professor

Research Interests

Professor Young’s research background includes numerical analysis and modeling of photonic devices, optoelectronic technologies, and lightwave systems. His interests for the past 15 years or so have been domain-focused on healthcare delivery, rather than centred on a particular discipline or technology. This includes methods for research into care delivery, including social science approaches, economic evaluation and business methods, simulation and modeling, and systems thinking, as well as interests in the underpinning technologies, particularly information systems. The Cumberland Initiative (www.cumberland-initiative.org) aims to bring well over a dozen universities, many companies and a significant number of care delivery agencies together. When it reaches maturity, it is expected to represent a £20-30M p.a. concern that brings academic thinking to bear on the delivery of care and a health sector creating wealth around it.

Research grants and projects

Project details

Professor Young was Principal Investigator of the MATCH portfolio of grants from 2003 to 2013 (GR/S29874, EP/C513045, EP/F063822, and EP/G012393), and of RIGHT (EP/E019900, 2007-9). The core partners in these programmes included the Universities of Birmingham, Cambridge, Cardiff, Nottingham, Southampton and Ulster and a wide range of companies and health agencies. His total income generation since 2003, overwhelmingly as PI, exceeds £15M.

Professor Young is a Co-Investigator on a KTP with Whole Systems Partnership and an SBRI project, (TEA-PoCT), both funded by the TSB. Together, these are worth around £500k, included in the total above.

His main focus is to support the funding and development of the Cumberland Initiative (www.cumberland-initiative.org).
