He has been Porfessor of Cardiac Surgery at King's College London since 2012 and is the Chair of the Heart & Vascular Institute at the Cleveland Clinic in London, where he was appointed in 2018.

He qualified, trained and gained substantial experience in Germany before his appointment as Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon at King’s College London in 2004. He was Clinical Director for Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery between 2006 and 2012 and promoted Chair of Cardiac Surgery at King's College London in 2012. In June 2012 Professor Wendler was promoted Professor of Cardiac Surgery at King’s College London and since 2013, he is the lead cardiac surgeon in the Clinical Advisory Group of the NHS London Cardiovascular Strategic Clinical Network.

Prof Wendler has a particular surgical and academic interest in arterial coronary bypass surgery, heart valve and aortic root repair, minimally-invasive heart valve surgery, thoracic aortic surgery and repeat and complex cardiac operations. In 2007 Prof Wendler performed the first transapical transcatheter heart valve implantation in the UK, followed by the first implantation in a failing aortic prosthesis (2008) and failing mitral prosthesis (2011).

His special interests are in cardiac surgery, aortic and mitral valve repair, arterial bypass surgery, aortic root surgery, thoracic aortic surgery and transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Ian Angell was Professor of Information Systems at the London School of Economics from 1986 until his retirement in September 2011.

Prior to this he researched and taught Computer Science at Royal Holloway College, and University College London.

He is now a Professor Emeritus at the LSE.

Angell has very radical yet constructive views on his subject, and is very critical of what he calls “the pseudo-science of academic Information Systems.” He has gained a certain notoriety worldwide for his aggressive polemics against the inappropriate use of artificial intelligence and so-called knowledge management, and against the hyperbole surrounding ‘e-commerce.’

His main research work concentrates on organizational and national I.T. policies, on strategic information systems, and on computers and risk (both opportunities and hazards), particularly the systemic risks inherent in all socio-technical systems and the security threats posed to organisations by the rapidly diffusing international information infrastructure.
