In Episode 1 of this QUB Research to Reality Podcast roundtable discussion, Dr Imelda Friel from the RIED and DECIDE Programmes was featured along with three other academics from Queen’s University Belfast School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering: Dr Oana Istrate, Dr Aislinn McAleenan and Dr Beatrice Smyth. The discussion was hosted by television presenter and journalist Tina Campbell, this conversation delved into the overarching theme of “Advanced Manufacturing: How Materials and Design are Shaping Future Technologies”. 

Can engineering design be radically accelerated while improving, rather than compromising, trust, safety, manufacturability, and performance? Through Imelda’s research at Queen’s University Belfast, working on RIED Design – Reimagining Engineering Design; is transforming how complex engineering systems are designed to generate viable engineering solutions in seconds rather than months.
