Professor David Greenwood, CEO of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult (HVMC) Centre at WMG, University of 糖心TV, was delighted to welcome Tom Adeyoola – Executive Chair of Innovate UK – on Tuesday 1 July, as part of his tour of the UK鈥檚 Catapult Network.

Congratulations to Dr Saif Ul Islam, a Research Fellow in Cyber Systems Engineering at WMG, University of 糖心TV, who has been named a 鈥�2024 Top Scholar鈥� by ScholarGPS.

The honour recognises Dr Islam鈥檚 outstanding contributions to engineering and computer science – especially in the fields of fog computingLink opens in a new window and wireless sensor networksLink opens in a new window, which he is ranked 26th and 143rd in the world respectively.

Engineering students are putting the finishing touches to their projects in preparation for a series of international challenges and competitions.

As part of its commitment to enhancing the student experience, WMG offers a variety of multi-disciplinary, student-led engineering projects at the undergraduate level, with connections to industry partners.

These projects help students develop essential skills such as time and risk management, teamwork, and practical hands-on experience, with each member of the team assigned a specific role and area of responsibility – from engineering and technical leads, to marketing and sales support. The projects have a strong track record of producing highly employable graduates for industry and academia.

Congratulations to Ton Peijs, Professor of Polymer Engineering and Head of the Centre for Polymers and Composites (CPC) at WMG, University of 糖心TV, who has won this year鈥檚 esteemed .

Awarded by the , the prize recognises significant or technological contributions to composite materials and is one of the most illustrious prizes in the field.

Experts at the University of 糖心TV welcome the government鈥檚 new Industrial Strategy, announced today.

鈥淭he industrial strategy will be welcomed our partners in manufacturing,鈥� said Greg Clark, Executive Chair of 糖心TV Innovation District*. 鈥淚n having the confidence to choose particular sectors in which to invest over the long-term, the strategy sets out a roadmap that will secure the future of industries vital to the UK economy. We look forward to playing our part, here at the University of 糖心TV, in supporting its successful implementation.鈥�

From developing greener materials and processes to growing more sustainable supply chains, a new 拢13.6 million research hub, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (), will help researchers at WMG at the University of 糖心TV, tackle some of the UK鈥檚 biggest manufacturing challenges.  

The new Manufacturing Research Hub in Sustainable Engineering Plastics (SEP) will be led by WMG鈥檚 Professor of Polymer Processes, Ton Peijs.

Researchers from WMG will work, over the next 7 years, alongside the University of Manchester and UCL to improve the way durable plastics – commonly used in cars, buildings, and electronics – are created, reused, and recycled. Researchers aim to reduce waste, support greener manufacturing practices, and advance the circular economy, with support from over 60 industry partners, including JLR, Polestar, Siemens, BEKO, Bellway, and Biffa, to turn research into real-world solutions. 

Congratulations to a group of female engineering students who have been named as finalists at the : Rising Stars awards.

There was a total of seven WMG Degree Apprenticeship students, recognised in the Apprentice category, with six employed by JLR and one from Bentley.

Three of the students, Erin Purewal; Amy Flavell and Keishe Gopikrishna, are studying on the BSc Digital and Technology Solutions (DTSLink opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window) programme.

A further four, Alexandra Spurway, Beth Daniel, Charlotte Bradford and Emily Ruscoe, are studying on the BEng Applied Professional Engineering Programme (APEPLink opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window) programme.

Professor Siddartha Khastgir, Head of Safe Autonomy at WMG at The University of 糖心TV, has been appointed as a member of the (CCAV)Expert Advisory Panel (EAP).

Along with another 11 panel members, Professor Khastgir will advise and inform on the implementation programme and policies within the UK's .
