New biological graft research to improve dialysis treatment. The Department receives one of the two 2024 BHF Translational Awards from the British Heart Foundation. The 3-year project has received £741K in funding and is led by Professor Athina Markaki at the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge. https://lnkd.in/eDaXrJyU Sanjay Sinha Kourosh Saeb-Parsy Gavin Pettigrew Marie-Aude Genain Martin Goddard Alex Justin, PhD Cambridge Enterprise

It was an incredibly exciting week collaborating with Ali Jafari, Richard Kaseta, and Toby Sporn on smoke tunnel flow visualization of various delta wings. We observed clear evidence of primary and secondary vortices and explored the flow structure at different angles of attack (AoA) and yaw conditions. Our findings were supported by the results from other teams’ oil flow subsonic/supersonic wind tunnels and CFD simulations. Here’s a video demonstrating the increase in vortex size as the AoA increases. Re is approximately 26000, indicating a relatively laminar flow. A higher vortex intensity suggests an increase in lift generation. We deeply appreciate the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge for providing this Extended Activity opportunity, allowing us to gain invaluable hands-on experience in our areas of interest.

If you missed Tim Minshall on BBC Radio 4 ’s Start the Week this morning, you can catch up here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eztgCP52 Tim talks about his new book, Your Life Is Manufactured, which uncovers the hidden world of making - how the goods we rely on are designed, produced, and distributed in places ranging from mega-factories to artisanal workshops. With interesting examples from the world of manufacturing and the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM), University of Cambridge, Tim was joined by former BP Chief Scientist Bernie Bulkin and Fiona Dear from The Restart Project, advocating for repair and sustainability. Fantastic conversation - tune in!! 🎧 #Manufacturing #Sustainability #Innovation #Cambridge Faber and Faber University of Cambridge Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge IfM Engage

Excited to share our latest Advanced Materials publication by Muzi Xu et al. By mimicking the structure of human fingerprints in a soft, skin-compliant, heterogeneous substrate, we’ve developed the first isotropic omnidirectional tactile sensor with hypersensitivity, capable of detecting and discriminating the direction of strain-an extraordinary feature of human touch. This groundbreaking device has wide-ranging applications, from wearable healthcare sensors and silent speech interfaces to precision robotics. Proudly developed by the #OcchipintiGroup at Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge #softrobotics #bioelectronics #healthcare

Excited to share our latest research published in Science Advances with Profs Zhipei Sun and Weiwei Cai! 🚀 We have developed a miniaturised spectral sensing platform that can identify materials without requiring complex mathematical reconstruction of spectral features. This enables a more compact and efficient alternative to conventional spectrometers. 🔍 What makes this work interesting? ✅ Eliminates the need for complex spectral reconstruction ✅ Utilizes a tunable optoelectronic interface for material identification ✅ Opens new possibilities for real-time sensing in resource-limited environments ✅ Moves us closer to next-generation, chip-scale spectral analysis This breakthrough has substantial implications for remote sensing, diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and industrial quality control. 🔗 Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/gTHYWtUc Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge Division of Electrical Engineering, University of Cambridge Cambridge Graphene Centre #SpectralSensing #Optoelectronics #Photonics #MaterialScience #Innovation #ScienceAdvances
