Robert MacKay is one of three Fellows of the Royal Society at Warwick who have been named RISE Renowned Fellows after nomination for the EPSRC RISE Awards (Recognising Inspirational Scientists and Engineers).

The RISE campaign, in partnership with the Royal Academy of Engineering, marks the 20th anniversary of the EPSRC. Ten of the UK’s most inspirational scientists and engineers have been recognised as RISE Leaders, celebrating their achievements as innovators in engineering and physical sciences research. Their contribution to science covers a broad range of disciplines and highlights the diversity and impact of the engineering and physical sciences.

Philip Greenish, CBE, Chief Executive of the Royal Academy of Engineering commented:

“RISE is part of the Engineering for Growth campaign which aims to bring engineering to the heart of society; celebrating the contribution of inspiring researchers to growth and innovation is a great way to help create a connection between engineering and daily life.”
