A new report published today by the Royal Academy of Engineering and its partners in the National Engineering Policy Centre highlights the importance of improved ventilation to reduce risk of Covid-19 and other infections.
We are delighted to reveal eight new global visionaries who will be awarded funding from the Academy's #RAEngResearch Chairs in Emerging Technologies scheme. A total of £22 million will be allocated to support research that could have global benefits: raeng.org.uk/ciet-2020
Professor Stephen Beeby will be looking into developing electronic textiles that incorporate flexible circuit technologies, sensors, and energy harvesting/storage functionality, for use with wearable applications and more: raeng.org.uk/ciet-2020#RAEngResearch
Professor Emile Greenhalgh will focus on developing structural power composites, an area which is expected to have a huge impact on the aerospace and automotive industry, by increasing fuel efficiency and a reducing global emissions: raeng.org.uk/ciet-2020#RAEngResearch
From leaders in transport and data to innovators working on lifesaving developments in medical research, meet the 53 talented engineers elected to our Fellowship today: raeng.org.uk/new-fellows-20…#RAEngFellows
Dr Rajapillai Ahilan is a technology and business leader who has led projects which set international standards for jack-ups, marine transportation and moorings. raeng.org.uk/about-us/the-f…#RAEngFellows
From polymers to medical devices, we're proud to recognise the leadership and innovation of engineers with our 2020 medals and awards: raeng.org.uk/news/news-rele…#RAEngAwards
Professor Dame Julia Higgins is awarded our Sir Frank Whittle Medal for her sustained achievements in polymer materials - extremely relevant as our society tackles the issues of separating and recycling plastics: raeng.org.uk/news/news-rele…#RAEngAwards
Sorin Popa, CEO of Pathfinder Medical, is awarded the Sir George Macfarlane Medal for demonstrating excellence early in his career - inventing a device to allow haemodialysis and even arterial bypasses to be performed without invasive surgery. raeng.org.uk/news/news-rele…#RAEngAwards
We are delighted to reveal the awardees from our latest round of #RAEngResearch Chairs and Senior Research Fellows. They will be spending the next five years working with some of the world’s largest companies on a wide range of engineering challenges: raeng.org.uk/news/news-rele…
#RAEngResearch Chair Professor Trung Q Duong's research will look into going beyond 5G and towards 6G. He believes that 6G will focus not only on faster data speeds, but also on massive interconnections of autonomous machines: raeng.org.uk/news/news-rele…
#RAEngResearch Chair Professor Paul Hoskisson's research will look into engineering methods to improve the sustainability of antimicrobial production. Engineering biology is a priority area for growth that will help to accelerate antibiotic production: raeng.org.uk/news/news-rele…
On Thursday, @KarenHolford speaks to Sir Jim McDonald, @RaffaellaOcone, and award winners from @OvsiVentilator, @UniofOxford, and @Sewers4C about their amazing innovations tackling the COVID-19 pandemic. Register now for our latest Innovation In A Crisis webinar:
The @OvsiVentilator became the first intensive care quality ventilator to be manufactured in Africa, which could be a gamechanger when it comes to a host of conditions including pneumonia, as well as COVID-19. raeng.org.uk/grants-prizes/…
Researchers at @oxengsci developed a speedy test to identify carriers of COVID-19 and provide a result within 30 minutes. No labs are needed - a simple colour change allows quick and easy interpretation: raeng.org.uk/grants-prizes/…
