David Cebon

David Cebon is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the Department of Mechanical Engineering. His research interests include applied mechanics, vehicle dynamics, heavy goods vehicles, fuel consumption, road freight, vehicle safety, steering, road damage, and asphalt micromechanics. He leads the Energy, Transport and Urban Infrastructure research theme at the University of Cambridge Engineering Department and serves as Director of the Cambridge Vehicle Dynamics Consortium and the Centre for Sustainable Road Freight. His work spans mechanical, civil, and materials aspects of road transport engineering, with a focus on heavy vehicle dynamics, safety, and fuel efficiency.

David Cebon's research focuses on materials selection in mechanical design, vehicle-road interaction, and heavy vehicle dynamics. His work explores the effects of heavy vehicles on pavement response and performance, as well as the dynamic interaction between vehicles and highway bridges. Cebon also investigates truck suspension design, road damage mitigation, and active roll control systems for heavy vehicles. His publications cover topics such as biocompatibility in medical devices, viscoelastic approaches to pavement rutting, and damper models for ride dynamics. Additionally, he contributes to the development of intelligent transportation systems, emphasizing safety and sustainability in transportation 5.0.
