#RAEngResearch Chairs in Emerging Technologies awardee Professor Ana Cavalcanti from @UniOfYork takes us through her career and Academy funded research:
"The UK industry is a leader in this area of mathematical and software engineering, which is why I came to the UK to study"
Professor Ana Cavalcanti shares what she thinks research and development into the area of software engineering for robotics can lead to in the future. She strongly believes we can reap a lot of benefits by incorporating robotics into society #RAEngResearch
@UniOfYork Follow in Professor Ana Cavalcanti's footsteps! We're accepting applications to our Chairs in Emerging Technologies 2020/2021 cohort. This is open to researchers globally, offering funding support over 10 years. For more information, visit: bit.ly/2lw3dfH#RAEngResearch

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/…
