These are some ideas assessed at the second Engineers to the Rescue Workshop on Wednesday 28 September 2016. Two hours are not enough to develop a business model but how about developing an undergraduate research project or public engagement event in a similar workshop?
When doing tasks we are often confronted with a fundamental question: shall I do it fast or do it precisely? From experience we know that achieving both is exceedingly difficult; compromise is the best bet. But can speed and precision be maximised at the same time? A new study from Dr.
Simone Dimartino, recently appointed to the School within the Institute for Bioengineering (IBioE) in February 2016, has been granted with the Csaba Horváth Young Scientist award for his contribution at the 44th International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques, HPLC 2016, in San Francisco. Simone has presented the work he is carrying out with his overseas collaborators at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand. The work focuses on the implementation of 3D printing for the manufacture of bespoke devices for the separation and purification of proteins and other biomolecules.
2018 will mark the 150th anniversary of the Regius Chair of Engineering, thus establishing engineering studies at the University of Edinburgh on a par with the best in the UK. The School of Engineering will be marking this significant anniversary with a programme of events and activities. Planning has begun, and we also want to receive ideas and suggestions from our community of staff, students and alumni – or indeed anyone with a great idea!
