WMG Professors become Fellows of the Royal Academy of Engineering

Two Professors at WMG at the University of Warwick have been elected as Fellows of the prestigious Royal Academy of EngineeringLink opens in a new window.

Professor Claire DavisLink opens in a new window, Head of Advanced Steel Research Centre; and Professor Mark WilliamsLink opens in a new window, Head of the Metrology and Visualisation Research Group, atProfessor Mark Williams WMG, have been elected as part of a group of 71 leading figures in the field of engineering and technology.

The group consists of 60 Fellows, six International Fellows and five Honorary Fellows, each of whom has made exceptional contributions to their own sector.

Each Fellow has been involved in pioneering new innovations, leading progress in business or academia, providing high level advice to government, or promoting wider understanding of engineering and technology.

The new Fellows will be formally admitted to the Academy at a special ceremony in London on 27 November, when each Fellow will sign the roll book.

In joining the Fellowship, they will lend their unique capabilities to achieving the Academy’s overarching strategic goal to harness the power of engineering to create a sustainable society and an inclusive economy for all.

Professor Claire DavisProfessor Davis said: “I am very honoured to have been elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. It is an exciting and dynamic time for the global steel industry and I look forward to working with the Royal Academy in promoting clean technologies for the future.”

Professor Mark Williams said: “I’m honoured to be elected as a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and am extremely grateful to colleagues across the country who have seen fit to elect me.

“It’s a long way from my time as an apprentice to the Royal Academy. I’d like to thank my colleagues at Warwick who have supported me over my career here and look forward to working with the other Fellows.”

Dr John Lazar CBE FREng, President of the Royal Academy of Engineering, says: “Our new Fellows represent some of the most talented people in the world of engineering and are taken from the ranks of those who are aiming to address some of our most critical problems.

“We are proud to say that many of our newly elected Fellows have come from underrepresented groups in engineering and related sectors and we hope this helps to tackle some of the issues around a lack of diversity within the profession.

“There is ample evidence that a wider pool of ideas and experiences helps to improve decision-making and develop novel solutions to global challenges.”

Single molecule dynamics in a virtual cell combining a 3-dimensional matrix model with random walks

Professor Justin Molloy has a new paper in the journal "Scientific Reports" in collaboration with Gregory I. Mashanov of the Francis Crick institute, London.
The paper describes a multiscale computer model that simulates the dynamics of individual molecules within the complex architecture of a living cell.

The motivation for this work was to develop computational tools to validate and test hypotheses resulting from recent technical advances that allow biologists to directly visualise individual molecules within living cells using video microscopy.

Biological molecules show dynamic changes in structure and position over a very wide range of time and length scales - from nanoseconds to tens of seconds and nanometres to tens of micrometres. These dynamic ranges can be difficult to capture, simulate and model. We present a multiscale modelling environment that helps to bridge the gap between time and length scales and model experimental data sets using relatively simple physical-chemical understandings of molecular interactions and thermal forces.
