What CIU members say

Dave Watkins, CEO of Zinco International Ltd explains how he worked with the CIU to develop an ultrasonic NDT system that measures the thickness of the steel wall of a galvanising kettle under molten zinc at 450 C.

Colin Edge of Dynoptic Systems Ltd describes how they have worked with the CIU on postdoctoral researcher and student projects.

David Crosthwaite-Eyre of Cygnus Ltd describes how they have worked with the CIU on various short term research projects.
