Congrats Dr Turnbull!

[Rory Turnbull @rpturnbull]

Five year of hard work payed off on Wednesday as I graduated from the University of Leeds as a Doctor of Philisophy in Mechanical Engineering.

I had a fantastic day and enjoyed sharing the moment with family and friends, who supported me along the way!

Last week's Robotics PGR welcome event brought together PGRs and academics for some talks on current research and discussions for the direction of the network. Great to get some cross-department views on projects and outreach activities!
