6th Update of the Student Research Project Showcase (24th–28th March)! Another fantastic research project was by one of our talented final-year students, Khizar, at the School of Engineering, University of Birmingham. Their project focused on applying AI in robotics. They used NVIDIA Omniverse COSMOS to generate synthetic data and train the SAM 2.1 computer vision model for visual segmentation of flexible materials in robotic assembly and disassembly environments. This innovative work explores how synthetic data and computer vision can help advance automation and intelligent robotic systems — a critical step for future smart manufacturing. Huge thanks to the student for this exciting contribution and to Dr Mozafar Saadat, along with PhD researchers Ruifeng Ye and Yi Wang, for their support and supervision throughout the project. We're proud to see how our students use emerging technologies to solve real-world engineering challenges!

Fifth Update of Student Research Project Showcase (24th–28th March)! As part of our Student Research Project Showcase, this is another spotlight on exceptional student research presented. One of our talented final-year students, Joe Roberts Nuttall, presented their dissertation titled: “An Interpretable Machine Learning Framework for Adverse Drug Reactions from Drug Target Interactions” This innovative project explored how machine learning can be applied to better predict side effects and uncover concerning interactions, contributing to safer drug development. It’s an inspiring example of how AI and engineering can help solve real-world health challenges. A huge thank you to Joe Roberts Nuttall for their outstanding work and thoughtful presentation and to their supervisors, Professor Duc Pham for their invaluable guidance and support. We're incredibly proud of the cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research our students are producing — and we can’t wait to see where this journey takes them next!

Inspiring the Next Generation of Engineers – FIRST® LEGO® League at University of Birmingham! We were thrilled to host the FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge at the School of Engineering, University of Birmingham — a global STEM programme by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) in the UK. This exciting event welcomed young innovators aged 9–16 to compete in a series of engineering challenges under this year’s theme: SUBMERGED — exploring ocean layers and innovations for healthier oceans. The competition brought together creativity, technical skills, teamwork, and, most importantly, fun! The day was full of inspiring moments, from robot games to innovation projects and core values. Our UBRobotics Society students and PhD researchers from the Makerspace UoB played a vital role in mentoring and engaging with the teams — showcasing their passion for engineering and all things LEGO! Many thanks to Beth Jelfs for leading this event and huge congratulations to all participating teams, including our award winners. We’re proud to support initiatives that spark curiosity, build confidence, and ignite a passion for STEM in young minds. https://lnkd.in/etifcy8G #FIRSTLEGOLeague #UniversityOfBirmingham #SchoolOfEngineering #STEMEducation #FutureEngineers #Robotics #Innovation #LEGOChallenge #EngineeringInspiration #Outreach #UoBEngagingYoungMinds

🌙 Eid Mubarak from the School of Engineering, University of Birmingham! We wish a joyful and peaceful Eid to all our students, staff, alumni, and friends celebrating worldwide at the University of Birmingham Edgbaston and the University of Birmingham Dubai. As the holy month of Ramadan comes to a close, we were pleased to support our students observing this special time by distributing Iftar meal packages on 26 March, a small gesture to remind them that they are always in our thoughts, especially those celebrating far from home. Thank you to our amazing PGRs who helped with the Iftar event and supported distributing the Iftar packages with our students; your efforts made a real difference. Eid Mubarak! May this time bring peace, happiness, and togetherness to you and your loved ones.

While the team of Calum Phelan, Paul Plummer, Simon Blainey, Linxiao Li, Mani Entezami, Chris Morris are in Newport at the Railway Industry Association Innovation Conference, a team of #students from School of Engineering, University of Birmingham and School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham took part in the conference's Accessibility Challenge hackathon and were finalists at yesterday's presentation. The team brought together their experiences navigating the UK railway to devise a comprehensive travel-support app which considered the many needs different types of rail users have. It combines human-centrered design with data, filtered to eliminate inaccessible journey options and to highlight more comfortable options. It uses generative AI in scanning sector-provided data to empower users with up to date guidance, personalised and relevant to the user. Oh it also accommodates non-English speakers too, together with plans for sign language recognition. Alas the team was pipped to the post by another student group but we're super-proud of their ideas. Maybe someone would like to continue developing this? Get in touch if you're interested! The team was (L-R first image): Rohit Adhikari, Mia Kalogjera (staff), Widyasanti Ni Komang, team leader tanuja kavuri, Utkarsh Kansal and Joe Preece (staff)

Fourth Update of Student Research Project Showcase (24th–28th March)! One impressive project led by Hamza Mirza is the “IoT-Based Smart Person Tracker,” which aims to enhance the safety of dementia patients through real-time indoor tracking. Using RC522 RFID sensors and an Arduino R4 Wi-Fi controller, the system can detect patient locations and instantly notify caregivers via a mobile app—a brilliant example of how the Internet of Things and embedded systems can address real-world healthcare challenges. A huge thanks to Hamza Mirza for sharing their projects, dedication, and innovation and to their supervisor, Mahvish Nazir, for their valuable guidance throughout the journey. We continue to be inspired by our students' creativity, technical skills, and societal focus.
