Professor Simon Hogg at the Offshore Wind NE 2022 event in Sunderland 10-11 November.

Our PhD student's paper published in the Journal of Applied Physics (American Institute of Physics) has been selected as the Cover Page (Volume 132, Issue 123) and Editor's Pick.

Amir Ghasemi, the second-year PhD student of the department of engineering has been awarded the Young Scientist Award at the 16th International Congress on Artificial Materials for Novel Wave Phenomena – Metamaterials 2022 held in Italy.

Two of our PGR Engineering students, Amir Ghasemi and Rui Fang, have received the first- and second-best poster prizes from the UK Metamaterials Network, respectively.

Professor Charles Augarde takes over Professor Simon Hogg, to be the new Head of Department.

One of our engineering experts is part of a team that’s discovered for the first time that catastrophic growth of a slip surface along a weak layer could lead to very large submarine landslides.

Phil Peel, graduated in engineering from University College, Durham in 1985 with a B.Sc. in Engineering Science and a Masters in Turbomachinery, is the 2022/23 President of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

Dr Roderick Mackenzie, of our Department of Engineering, has been a part of an international research team which has created the most efficient single-junction organic solar cell certified to date.

A group of first year Durham University Engineering undergraduates has won the IMechE Regional Design Challenge Final 2022 after a tough competition in Durham. The team, consisting of Ola Adamowicz, Dermot Burke, Harry Brenninkmeyer, Jack Broome, James Gilmore and Kathy Barrett, successfully designed and built a line launcher to fire balls into a target at distances of up to six metres, with points for precision as well as presentation and design quality.

Emeritus Professor Tony Unsworth receives Honorary Doctor of Engineering at Teesside University on 28 April 2022 for his extensive and excellent research portfolio in biomedical engineering and tribology, exploring the functioning of natural and artificial joints, as well as the design of new generations of joints.

"We've got an exciting and potentially world-leading opportunity here in the Northeast to really establish this area as part of a globally leading centre of excellence in offshore renewable energy." Professor Simon Hogg recently comments in the new 2021 film developed and delivered by Energi Coast.

The textbook was sent to Dr Grant Ingram as a gift to the department from Chris Robinson, a graduate and Michael Casey, a temporary lecturer in the Department in 1974.
