He has been a keynote speaker at 17 national and international conferences, has served on ten national and international technical committees and is a member of several panels including the EPSRC Peer Review College and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) Manufacturing Enterprise Professional Network.
Professor Duc Truong Pham, director of the MEC said: "Stefan is an exceptional person who works very hard, has tremendous vision and is an inspirational leader and manager who applies himself with great determination".
"Stefan deserves recognition for his outstanding record of achievement and this new position will provide him with the platform, which will allow him to take his career to even greater heights.
Everyone at the MEC is delighted and we all treasure his commitment and the contribution he has made." Dr Dimov is originally from Bulgaria and manages to find time in his busy schedule to ski and play basketball.
