Prof Robert Maximilian Kenedi FRSE (1921-1998) was a Hungarian-born engineer and bioengineer.
During this period he developed a series of highly used Design Codes for the British steel industry, allowing great refinement of sections.

In 1963, with the help of a large grant from the British Medical Research Council, he founded the Bioengineering Unit at Strathclyde University.
His proposers were Anthony Elliot Ritchie, Peter Pauson, Donald Pack, and Adam Tomson.
