Dr Holloway is part of the School Engineering & Built Environment and undertakes research within the area of electronic sensors and robotic systems. He completed his PhD in Electronic Sensors in 2005 and after a 2-year period in industry joined the University in 2007 as a researcher. Dr Holloway is currently Deputy Head for the School of Engineering & Built Environment with oversight of teaching and learning, student experience, student success and outcomes for the school.

Since returning to academia he has worked on several large-scale EU funded projects was co-investigator for the EPSRC funded project REINS. The main area of work has been focused on the bespoke development of electronics and sensor systems for robotics and other electronic control applications. Additionally, Dr Holloway is extensively involved with industrial consultancy, academic collaborations, Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) and supervision of PhD students in the sensors systems and robotics area.
