The University is set to establish two research hubs that will focus on developing AI tools to help revolutionise the fields of electronics and healthcare.
A state-of-the-art tidal turbine blade has been manufactured in Scotland for the first time and more cheaply than before, which, engineers say, could reduce the levelised cost of tidal energy.
PhD student Rui Zhang has won the Worshipful Company of Scientific Instrument Makers (WCSIM) Freeman Scholarship for her work to develop an advanced sensor which could help reduce harmful emissions from gas turbine engines.
A project aiming to maximise tidal energy generation has been launched in the presence of Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal, at the University of Edinburgh’s FastBlade facility.
Three academics associated with the School of Engineering have been elected as Fellows of the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng) in recognition of their status as leading lights of the engineering community.
To mark International Women in Engineering Day (Thursday 23 June 2022), we spoke to bioengineering PhD student Ella-Louise Handley, about her research interests, how she got into engineering, and the advice she would share with the next generation of women in engineering.
The School of Engineering has created the Elizabeth Georgeson Fellowship - named after Scotland’s first female engineering graduate - to encourage talented postdoctoral researchers from underrepresented groups to pursue careers in engineering academia.
Lindsay Beevers, Professor of Environmental Engineering at the School of Engineering, has worked on a project with Heriot-Watt University to investigate how people might be affected by droughts in Scotland.
The world's first rapid testing facility for tidal turbine blades, which researchers say can speed up development of marine energy technologies while helping to reduce costs, has opened for business.
