Our Edinburgh University Formula Student were recently crowned winners of the Formula Student Artificial Intelligence Competition at Silverstone racetrack on 17 - 21 July 2019.
School technicians are developing a new safety initiative to enable them to recover staff and students in the event of hazardous gas release during experimental lab work.
It is with great sadness that the School of Engineering announces the recent passing of our Senior Lecturer Dr Enrico Mastropaolo, who died in hospital on 15 July 2019.
The School’s Dr Martin Sweatman has decoded a system of Pictish symbols and revealed its link with other symbol systems used by ancient civilisations across the world. Dr Sweatman, who is a Reader in Chemical Engineering in the School, had previously used his scientific training to decode an early zodiacal system found across western Eurasia, from European Palaeolithic caves to sites in Turkey, Egypt and Mesopotamia. He has now gone one step further by linking Pictish symbols to this system.
Researchers from the School of Engineering are part of a pan-University research hub for quantum-enhanced imaging systems, which just received a £28m funding boost from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). Chancellor’s Fellow in Electronics Dr Danial Chitnis and Professor Robert Henderson from the School’s Institute for Integrated Micro and Nano Systems (IMNS), are members of the UK Quantum Technology Hub in Quantum Enhanced Imaging (QuantIC) which received the funding.
