Read the latest engineering research news from the Edinburgh Research Partnership in Engineering
At a time when most labs are closed, Professor Grunde Jomaas from the University of Edinburgh’s School of Engineering is part of a team carrying out unique experiments in a very remote location – a spacecraft in orbit.
Dr Harry van der Weijde has been awarded a prestigious Humboldt Fellowship for Experienced Researchers by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
Researchers in the School of Engineering have helped develop innovative new technology which could transform how Scotland’s historic buildings are managed, maintained and repaired.
A PhD student from the School of Engineering is part of a team of researchers who have developed a low-cost, open-source COVID-19 testing laboratory.
PhD student Kyle Walker has won a Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Summer Program fellowship to travel to Japan and conduct robotics research as part of his PhD studies.
People who wear a face mask significantly lower the risk of spreading Covid-19 to others through speaking and coughing, research led by the School of Engineering suggests.
James Steer, who recently completed his PhD on the behaviour of ocean waves at the School of Engineering, has won the UK Fluids Network (UKFN) Prize for best PhD thesis in Fluid Mechanics.
The School of Engineering enjoyed success in this year’s Scottish Green Energy Awards, with two category winners.
A cross-disciplinary team from the University of Edinburgh and the Alan Turing Institute has placed in the top 1% of more than three thousand teams who registered for the Hateful Memes Challenge, jointly organised by Facebook AI Research and DrivenData.
An international research collaboration led by the School’s Professor Prashant Valluri and Professor Rama Govindarajan FAPS from ICTS-TIFR, Bangalore, India has made a significant breakthrough in understanding the behaviour of solid-fluid flows.
This work breaks new ground for creating new materials landscapes by showing that conventional criteria and routes to synthesis are neither followed nor required. We show this for Ge-Sn, a system actively investigated for optoelectronic applications to overcome conventional cubic Si's deficiencies.
PhD student Prarthana Desai has received a prestigious award from the Worshipful Company of Scientific Instrument Makers (WCSIM).
