Dr Adam Stokes and Dr Philip Hands from the School of Engineering have each won a Principal’s Innovation Award, a new prize given by the University’s commercialisation service Edinburgh Innovations to help researchers unlock new funding streams for unusual and ground breaking ideas.
Kang came to the University of Edinburgh as a student on the 2+2 joint programme - having spent the first two years of his degree at North China Electric Power University. Kang explains what has made his time in Scotland so unforgettable - from sampling the skiing at Glencoe, to joining thousands of people from across the world on Princes Street for Hogmanay celebrations.
Erik from Trelleborg in Sweden shares his standout memories of being a student at the University of Edinburgh - from leading the development of a self-driving electric race car as part of the Edinburgh University Formula Student, to playing rugby in front of 12,000 people at Murrayfield stadium - and provides his top tips for freshers joining Edinburgh in autumn 2020.
I am an Honorary Fellow with the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh. My main position is Associate Professor in Power Systems with the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford.
Congratulations to the Edinburgh University Formula Student (EUFS) team for winning the artificial intelligence (AI) division of the Formula Student competition for the third year in a row!
To mark this year's International Women in Engineering Day, we interviewed Ewa, Alliance, Stella, Luisa, and Linda, team members of HYPED. HYPED is a student society based in the School of Engineering which works on Hyperloop technology. Hyperloop is a proposed form of future mass transport based on a network of near-vacuum steel tubes, through which magnetically levitating pods would transport humans and cargo. Pioneers of the technology have suggested that it could shorten a journey such as Edinburgh to London to 30 minutes.
Dr Camilla Thomson, the School’s Chancellor’s Fellow in Energy, and alumna Clare Lavelle, who is Head of Energy Consultancy at Arup, have been named in the Top 50 Women in Engineering in the UK by the Women’s Engineering Society (WES).
After completing and access course with the Open University as a mature student I studied for my BSc(Hons) in Physics with Astrophysics at Nottingham Trent University.
