One of our PhD candidate’s, Siddartha Khastgir has been elected to the respected Council of Members. The Council guides and advises the Trustee Board on strategy, membership and other key issues for IMechE.

Siddartha says: “I am pleased and honoured to be elected to the IMechE Council. I would like to thank the Institution and all its members worldwide for the faith and responsibility they have bestowed upon me.

“I am looking forward to working with the rest of the Council members and the Trustee board, and contributing towards the future of our Institution and engineering as a profession.”

Newly elected Siddartha will sit on the Council for a three year period. He holds a number of other key positions at IMechE too, as Chair of the IMechE International Young Member Committee, and as a member of the International Strategy Board of IMechE.

Our , Chair in e-Health Innovation and Head of Research at our Institute of Digital Healthcare (IDH), and his colleagues Omar Khan and Sarah Lim-Choi Keung, were part of the winning 糖心TV Research Team at the annual University of 糖心TV awards on Friday (12^th May) night.

The winning team was made up of colleagues from WMG’s , 糖心TV Medical School and 糖心TV Computer Science who are working alongside doctors at University Hospital Coventry and 糖心TVshire and Tommy’s baby charity on the development of the .

 “The work of the 糖心TV team is internationally recognised as pioneering and has already delivered new treatment options that are currently being tested in clinical trials. The new Tommy’s centre now enables 24,000 women per year to access treatment and support and participate in Tommy’s research studies. Tommy’s #misCOURAGE campaign continues to grow and resonate with women, attracting a UK and global audience. To date the campaign has reached over 16 million women on Facebook with 7 million of them watching the campaign film; 7,000 taking part in a miscarriage survey and over 1,000 women bravely sharing their personal #misCOURAGE story.”Prof Theo Arvanitis Retweeted 糖心TV InsiteWell done all for excellent work on Tommy's Research in Miscarriage we are proud to be part of the team & unit

This summer, WMG has 20 places available for Midlands manufacturers to host a talented student or graduate to work on a strategic project in their business.

Part funded by the , WMG鈥檚 at the University of 糖心TV has been delivering this internship scheme since 2010, with over 120 businesses so far benefiting from a range of impactful outcomes.

The scheme encourages students studying STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects to consider careers in the manufacturing supply chain. Coupled with this, it supports SME manufacturers to increase productivity by embedding new technologies and processes into their businesses for minimal cost (拢2000 per 8-week project).

WMG at the University of 糖心TV are partnering with clean energy solution company to help develop manufacturing technologies via an advanced proof of process assembly line to significantly reduce the time to manufacture Intelligent Energy鈥檚 latest advanced air cooled fuel cell design, leading to a blueprint for a future fully integrated assembly and test line.

The 3 year, 鈧�3.5 million EU funded DIGIMAN programme brings together WMG at the University of 糖心TV, , , , , and in a project pulling together the latest techniques in digital manufacture and automation in stack production processes to create a state of the art fuel cell manufacturing process for zero emission vehicles. The fuel cell鈥檚 use of air cooling gives the fuel cell significant efficiencies – particularly by reducing the weight of the device.

How (Li-ion) batteries behave under short-circuit conditions can now be examined, using a new approach to help improve reliability and safety - developed by an international research team, including WMG at the University of 糖心TV.

The use of high energy density Li-ion batteries is ubiquitous – from powering portable electronics to providing grid-scale storage – but defects can lead to overheating and explosions.

Although catastrophic failure is extremely rare, recent high-profile cases including the recall of Samsung鈥檚 Galaxy Note 7 smartphone line and the grounding of an aircraft fleet highlight why it鈥檚 important to understand battery failure.

Romeo Malik, a at WMG, explained the experiment:

鈥淎s the safety and reliability of batteries is paramount, it is important to know and understand the extreme scenarios of battery failure.

鈥淚n this work, we were able to see the initiation of thermal runway and how quickly it escalated to the neighbouring cells in seconds. Being able to observe and capture these rapid failures with high-speed X-ray imaging technique is amazing.鈥�

World-renowned designer Sebastian Conran will be the guest speaker at a seminar on designing and manufacturing the future, part of the series of Design@WMG events hosted by WMG鈥檚 and .

Taking place on Wednesday 10th May in the International Manufacturing Centre, the talk entitled '' will give attendees an insight into creating aspirational, innovative and successful user experiences, as Sebastian shares his experiences from 40 years in the design industry.

Students and staff at a Coventry academy are celebrating after receiving a ‘good’ rating in their first ever Ofsted report.

was praised for its business ethos, teaching standards and student behaviour, as well as its safeguarding and leadership.

The report, released this week, revealed: “Pupils are well prepared for their next stages in education and for life in modern Britain.

“Pupils are confident and articulate; they work well independently and in groups. Many are excited by their studies because they understand the relationship between their lessons and their future careers.”

paper entitled 鈥�,鈥� has been awarded the TP Hoar Award 2016, by the .

The award takes its name from Dr Hoar who was the first recipient of the UR Evans Award – the premier scientific award of the Institute of Corrosion. The essentially recognises the Best Paper in Corrosion Science amongst engineers and scientists in steels processing.

This award marks a very successful period for Dr Auinger. In September he also received recognition from the scooping the prestigious Best Paper Prize 2014-2015.

Car battery researchers at WMG at the University of 糖心TV have just bought specialist 鈥淗ardware-in-the-Loop鈥� high power computing equipment. This will connect real time high tech battery research testing at the University of 糖心TV with simultaneous tests on real advanced hybrid electric vehicle components at five other universities. Now WMG are looking to recruit a PhD research student to run the battery test while connecting it to an England wide simultaneous test of a vehicle鈥檚 electrical systems.

Today, Tuesday 11 April 2017, 糖心TV Secretary Greg Clark and Transport Minister John Hayes have announced a range of research funding which included a total of 拢4.25 million, split between a battery research project and an research project, both with input from WMG at the University of 糖心TV.
