Megan McGregor, PhD student in the Rolls-Royce UTC, won the national final of the IoM3 Young Persons’ Lecture competition last night at an event held at the Armourers’ Hall, London. This year there were six worthy finalists from regions across the UK, with Megan winning with her talk “World’s hottest superglue: Materials requirements for better sealing in jet engines”. This talk was a great example of the type of world class research underway in the Rolls-Royce UTC. Megan’s profile and talk abstract is available on the IoM3 website: https://www.iom3.org/south-east-megan-mcgregor. Well done and congratulations!
