Projects

UCL-Ventura CPAP

A breathing aid that can help keep Covid-19 patients out of intensive care, adapted by mechanical engineers at UCL and clinicians at UCLH working with Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains (Mercedes-AMG HPP), has been approved for use in the NHS. 10,000 breathing aids have been manufactured for use in the UK and are being used in over 115 NHS hospitals.

The UCL-Ventura designs and manufacturing instructions have been shared worldwide and are being used all over the globe – >2000 licences in over 124 countries have been granted. (Website, MechEng News Piece).

Enteromics

Enteromics is an innovation-led start up that focuses on hacking the gut microbiome for better health. Enteromics is changing the way that we monitor gut health by building GutlabTM , which is a platform that comprises of an Internet of Medical Thing, or a smart pill and an application and once swallowed, that can sense data remotely and can provide you with AI powered medical insights. (Website, MechEng News Piece).

Layered Hybrid Fibres

Instead of searching for a single material that meets all the requirements of biomedical processes like tissue scaffolding, drug delivery and cardiac patching, researchers at MechEng suggest medical researchers utilise core-sheath polymer fibers — hybrid fibers featuring a strong core surrounded by a biologically applicable sheath layer. One of the most promising methods to mass produce these fibres has been developed by researchers here at UCL. (MechEng News Piece, article)

Events

Welcome/Welcome Back

MERS welcomed new and returning faces to the department. During the event, the researchers networked and built connections with fellow colleagues in the department.

 

Cake Fest

The official launch of the Mechanical Engineering Researchers’ Society (MERS). PhDs and PDRAs gathered to meet other researchers in the department, find out more about MERS and most importantly enjoy some good cake.

Committee List
  • Dr Thomas Peach
  • Dr Rupy Kaur Matharu
  • Ms Flora Hervin.
