We're delighted to be at @STEM4Brit today by @ParlSciCom as part of British Science Week 2020. Make sure you follow the #STEM4Brit hashtag for updates - we'll also be covering the engineering research poster entries. Good luck to all the engineers! #RAEngResearch #BSW2020

45 early-career engineering researchers are exhibiting their posters @STEM4Brit today, each based on engineering that aims to drive positive change for the future. There's exhibits looking at healthcare to renewable energy - very impressive to see so far!#STEM4Brit #RAEngResearch

A snapshot of the range of research - there's tech that can measure quantities of nanoplastics, #AI that can predict when a water pump will break, software that can draw complex images and software that enhances user experience in an autonomous vehicle #STEM4Brit #RAEngResearch

Introducing the awards ceremony is @Metcalfe_SBET, Chair of @ParlSciCom, talks about the history of @STEM4Brit, why it exists to build links between parliamentarians and scientists, and thanks everyone for their entries. Winners to be announced next! #STEM4Brit #RAEngResearch

Representing the Academy is Professor Mary Ryan, Chair of the judging panel for the @STEM4Brit engineering awards. Thank you to all the Academy Fellows for helping with judging! #RAEngFellows #RAEngResearch #STEM4Brit

🥉In 3rd place, it's Benjamin Cerfontaine, for his 'Optimisation of screw anchor design for offshore floating wind, wave, and tidal energy devices' research. Well done! #STEM4Brit #RAEngResearch

🥈In 2nd place, it's Elisa Roccia for her 'Three dimensional cancer risk score mapping with MRI to improve early detection and individualised treatment planning for men with prostate cancer' research. Well done! #STEM4Brit #RAEngResearch

🥇In first place, it's Tomas Ysehak Abay, with his 'Development of an non-invasive intracranial pressure monitor for neurocritical care patients' research. Congratulations! #STEM4Brit #RAEngResearch

#STEM4Brit introduced two more engineering awards this year - the Dyson Award and the IEEE communications society award. Here are all the engineering research winners together. Huge congratulations to all for their hard work! #STEM4Brit #RAEngResearch

A few final words from Professor Karen Holford! We are proud to see these young engineering researchers helping to drive positive change for the future with their research. A big thank you to @wmgwarwick for sponsoring the awards #STEM4Brit #RAEngResearch
