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.
Third year, BEng Electrical & Mechanical Engineering
In Germany, I was raised in a half-Indian, half-German family. Starting with timber construction and moving on to electronics later, I was fascinated by planning projects from complete scratch, to then pursuing them from beginning to end.
Fourth year, BEng Electrical and Mechanical Engineering
I attended an international school in Madrid, Spain, where being dyslexic and having ADHD meant I struggled with essay-based subjects; alternatively, I developed my love for maths and physics.
Senior Lecturer in Electronics and Electrical Engineering
I grew up in Worcestershire, England, attending the local comprehensive school, and developed an early interest in science and technology. I could often be found taking things apart, or building things out of LEGO.
Dr George Serghiou is part of a team of researchers who have created a new silicon-based material, which could make everyday computing devices faster and more efficient by processing information through light as well as electricity.
