Professor Judith Driscoll recognised by Royal Academy of Engineering

Professor Judith Driscoll has been awarded a Chair in Emerging Technologies by the Royal Academy of Engineering.  The Academy has made awards totalling over £20 million in research funding through its Chairs in Emerging Technologies programme, providing long-term support to nine world-leading engineers across the UK to advance emerging technologies.  Professor Driscoll will develop and bring to industry highly innovative materials technology that can be used in non-volatile memory (NVM) storage. New NVM storage is essential to a wide range of growing data-centric technologies including IoT, transport, medicine, and AI.  The ten-year support provided to the Chairs will enable them to progress their pioneering ideas from basic science through to full deployment and commercialisation.
