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.
Numerical approximation methods like the finite element method (FEM) and the finite difference time domain (FDTD) schemes are at the forefront of engineering design and scientific computing.
Anne-Marie Thulstrup from Paris and Iris Picquart from Barcelona are both studying chemical engineering and are part of Precious Plastics – a student-run initiative to reduce waste plastic on campus. Learn more about the project, how to get involved - and why the students think engineers are key to a more sustainable future.
Climate change is already exacerbating water scarcity bringing uncertainty in the future of the water availability vs. abstraction (water stress), especially in delicate eco-systems.
