I have a general interest in problems solving. I am efficient at learning about a particular problem or area, understanding the fundamentals of the problem, and formulating a workable solution.

Mark Cleary's Problem Solving Experience:
- Mathematical modelling of a mechanical dose counting mechanism and loading of an aircraft.
- I created a new equation for modelling radiation heat transfer from buildings containing fires, where the radiation is falling on a building facade which does not lie in a plane parallel to the facade of the building on fire. I validated the equation using the principles contained in the current fire safety guidance document BR 187.
- I designed a new control system for use in Hard Disk Drives. The control system was based on a relatively new control technique. My job was to firstly examine the feasibility of using it in Hard Disk Drives, then design the controller.
- Monte Carlo simulation. Statistical tolerance analysis
- Mechanical design - research, concept and detailed design. Automotive bracket system. Medical safety syringe, 6-axis satellite gyroscope.
- I have wrote a number of programs in Matlab, in relation to mathematical modelling of mechanical systems, and solving associated mathematical problems.
- I developed a "growing fire" CFD model for use in modelling fires in buildings. I programmed it entirely myself. The model has been used in many CFD studies since.
