Our Early Career Enterprise Fellows, James Uzzell and James Griffith were fine ambassadors for BCI at the 2024 Festival of Enterprise. Both delivered excellent presentations with aplomb to an expert panel of judges and answered questions on their work.
Judging was extremely tight and both were highly commended; James Griffith being a narrow second in the panel judgement but won the audience vote and prize for the most engaging presentation titled “Developing Composite Solutions for Cryogenic Liquid Hydrogen Fuel Storage on Zero Carbon Emission Aviation (Developing Materials for Net-Zero Flight).”
James Uzzell’s presentation was focused on dynamic induction coils for energy efficient composites manufacturing.
The event, which was held in the Bill Brown Design Suite within the Faculty of Engineering on Thursday 20 June, focused on showcasing the range of research and enterprise activities, the people that have been supported and the impact of the funding and training provided by the University Enterprise Fellowships (UEFs) and Early Career Enterprise Fellowships (ECEFs).
The event featured presentations by the 23/24 Cohort of UEFs, and a series of PechaKucha style presentations by our ECEFs with an expert panel of judges who awarded the prize for best presentation with regards to project outcome & impact, in addition to an audience vote and prize for the most engaging presentation on the day.
