Let’s meet the engineers and schools taking part…
The Engineers
Sarah Hunt | Rolls-Royce PLC
I design parts for aeroplane engines and model them to calculate how long they will last in an engine – they are made from really special materials called ‘single crystals’.
Masha Folk | Cambridge University
I try to make jet engines eat less fuel by making the turbine inside work better.
Mark Catherall | Canopy Simulations
I simulate Formula 1 cars so that we can predict what the best design and setup will be for each race.
Leon Wechie | Leeds University
Finding out whether chemical oils and a material surface like one another, and exploring why and just how intimate their relationship is.
Dominique Anderson | Science Technology Facilities Council
Making motors move with software.
Andrei Ilie | Jaguar Land Rover
I make sure that cars can be put together from lots of tiny parts and write the instructions needed to do that; its kind of like putting Lego together.
