Congratulations to Esra Altun from our Biomaterials Processing Lab on her successful viva defence! Esra, who was supervised by Professor Mohan Edirisinghe, did her research in “Advanced manufacturing of fibrous surgical sutures using pressurised gyration technology”.

[UCL MechEng @uclmecheng]

Champions: for the 4th year in a row! UCL UG teams dominated the @imeche National Design Challenge Finals with perfect scores in Foundation and Advanced categories. Their automated repeater vehicles hit their targets with perfect "bullseyes", to claim both the major trophies.

A little demo on @SkyNews of the haptic feedback device from @ucl @UCLEngineering colleagues @H_Wurdemann and @Sariadela_abad et al

[Kay Burley @KayBurley]

Ever wanted to touch a loved one’s hand during a call?

Scientists at @ucl have developed a device that closely mimics the sense of touch across the internet

They show us how it works
