Research Seminar
'Prototyping using Multi-FPGA Platforms: Challenges and Opportunities' by Dr Umer Farooq, Lecturer in Electrical Engineering
Wednesday 6 April 2022
Pre-silicon verification has a very important role in the multibillion-dollar Integrated Circuit (IC) end-use market. Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)-based prototyping is one of the many options used for pre-silicon verification. FPGA-based prototyping is unique because of its real-world testing experience and higher execution speed as compared to other options used for pre-silicon verification.
This talk will focus on the challenges faced by FPGA-based prototyping and the opportunities that can be exploited to further the research in this area.
Research seminar
'Reactive Jet Impingement Bioprinting' by Aidan Bowes, Lecturer in Engineering and Digital Technologies
Wednesday 26 January 2022
In this seminar, Aidan detailed the work carried out during his PhD in the field of 3D bioprinting and how he planned to continue this work in the School of Engineering with potential areas of research interest.
Research seminar
'Development of new graphene/epoxy nanocomposites: Study of cure kinetics, thermal and mechanical properties, lamination and bonding performance' by Sheikh Rehman, PhD student in Engineering
Wednesday 15 December 2021
In this seminar, Sheikh presented his recent results on the preparation and characterisation of new nanocomposites, using different types of graphene (graphene nanoplatelets, reduced graphene oxide, functionalised graphene) with different epoxy matrices (conventional and biobased). Part of this work has been published in Thermochimica Acta 694 (2020) 178785 and another part has been submitted for publication.
Research seminar
'Integrating smart systems into UK foundries on the road to industry 4.0' by
Assoc. Prof. Dr Hamid Mehrabi
Wednesday 24 November 2021
The fourth industrial revolution has already begun, and it signals the start of a new way of thinking about manufacturing processes. It is the continuing automation of traditional manufacturing and industrial practices, using modern smart technology. Here, Hamid explored the core principles of Industry 4.0 and a detailed breakdown of how foundries could benefit from it.
Research seminar
'Failure Investigation of Engineering Materials' by Dr Nida Naveed
Wednesday 27 October 2021
Nida talked about her recently published work, the residual stresses measurement for an electron beam welded plate using a promising residual stress measurement technique – the contour method. Also, her talk contained some information about the material testing results for 3D-printed parts.
