Experimetal Micromechanics Group - @ubcmaterials & @ImpMaterials - led by @BMatB - surfing the cusp between #science & #engineering of Materials & Mechanics

[ExpMicroMech @ExpMicroMech]

Once again - many congratulations to Ning Fang from the group for winning the poster prize here!

[Imperial Materials @ImpMaterials]

Congratulations to the winners of our Postgraduate Research day competitions! 🎉

Our PhD students presented their research and designed research posters, with prizes awarded for best public speaker, best poster and more! 👏

Happy Chinese New Year - an important celebration for many of our group members and colleagues.

It's a challenging time to be celebrating, so do take time to enjoy what festivities, friendship and family you can.

🎉🐂

Hear the awesome @hexallography talk about her work 👇

[NPL @NPL]

Hear from Vivian Tong, a Higher Research Scientist working on Advanced Engineering Materials at NPL, who told us about the best part of her work for International Day of Women and Girls in Science. #WomenInScience

Listen now and find out about her research:

Some news 👇

As @BMatB is moving from @ImpMaterials to @UBCmaterials, the group will gradually shift (gently) in focus from work in London to work in Vancouver - but this will take a few years… so look forward to some more fun science & engineering from both sides of the pond☺️

[Imperial Materials @ImpMaterials]

Today is Dr Ben Britton's last day as a Reader at @imperialcollege. He will continue as a Visiting Reader for the next three years and we look forward to future collaborations!

Join us in wishing @BMatB all the best in his new role at @UBC! 🙌
