Message to School of Engineering staff from Head of School, Ekaterina Pavlovskaia
Dear colleagues
I am sorry to pass on to you the sad news that former Head of Engineering, Emeritus Professor Brian Willetts, has passed away aged 86.
Professor Willets was a significant figure in the School and worked at the University for over 30 years, from 1967 to 2001. He passed away peacefully at Borders General Hospital in Melrose last weekend.
He was a dear friend and colleague to many at the School of Engineering and across the University and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
All our thoughts are with Professor Willets’ family at this sad time.
Ekaterina
Professor Ekaterina Pavlovskaia
Head of School of Engineering
