Join us, and you’ll have the scope to create your own opportunities. For example, one of our colleagues joined us in 2017 with an industrial research background. Since then, she’s built a strong publishing record, mentored students, advised industrial partners, and been awarded numerous grants. With our support, she’s directed her progress and is also spearheading research initiatives in Healthcare Technology - working with hospital clinicians and electronics experts. She was promoted to a Professor in 2021.
