Composite materials are versatile materials and have found increased use in all areas of engineering where high strength, low weight materials are needed.
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.
I spent the two years between high school and University training as an elite athlete in Canmore, Alberta, Canada. I competed internationally in cross-country skiing and in the off season I would run, hike and road and mountain bike.
