Julia Brettschneider, Wilfrid Kendall, and Thomas Nichols have won an EPSRC grant to develop statistics for 3-d printing
The grant, EP/K031066/1 "Inside-out: Statistical methods for Computed Tomography validation of complex structures in Additive Layer Manufacturing" is held together with WMG colleagues Mark Williams and Greg Gibbons as well as three industrial partners. It will fund a PDRA in Statistics for three years, and has value £498109. It concerns Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM, or "3-d printing"), which develops products directly from their digital design data by the layer-wise addition of material. Our ambition is to develop effective process control based on Computed Tomography data.

Jane Hutton receives a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit award
The has announced the award of a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit award for project "Statistical models for medical research, patient care and decision-making".
Her statistical expertise is used to help answer difficult questions raised by health-care workers and patients. For example, she provides international reports on life expectancy of people with cerebral palsy, and those who suffered brain injury in accidents. She has helped to improve understanding of effective drug treatments for epilepsy.
The awards are jointly funded by the and the , the scheme aims to provide universities with additional support to enable them to attract science talent from overseas and retain respected UK scientists of outstanding achievement and potential.
