I am an Honorary Fellow with the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh. My main position is Associate Professor in Power Systems with the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford.
Congratulations to the Edinburgh University Formula Student (EUFS) team for winning the artificial intelligence (AI) division of the Formula Student competition for the third year in a row!
To mark this year's International Women in Engineering Day, we interviewed Ewa, Alliance, Stella, Luisa, and Linda, team members of HYPED. HYPED is a student society based in the School of Engineering which works on Hyperloop technology. Hyperloop is a proposed form of future mass transport based on a network of near-vacuum steel tubes, through which magnetically levitating pods would transport humans and cargo. Pioneers of the technology have suggested that it could shorten a journey such as Edinburgh to London to 30 minutes.
Dr Camilla Thomson, the School’s Chancellor’s Fellow in Energy, and alumna Clare Lavelle, who is Head of Energy Consultancy at Arup, have been named in the Top 50 Women in Engineering in the UK by the Women’s Engineering Society (WES).
After completing and access course with the Open University as a mature student I studied for my BSc(Hons) in Physics with Astrophysics at Nottingham Trent University.
PhD student Kyle Walker has won a Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Summer Program fellowship to travel to Japan and conduct robotics research as part of his PhD studies.
The School’s Dr Daniel Friedrich is to lead a new three-year project to investigate what role Seasonal Thermal Energy Storage (STES) systems could play in decarbonising the heating and cooling systems in our businesses, homes and industries, while continuing to meet our fluctuating energy needs.
