Dr Michael Togneri, from the Faculty of Science & Engineering, has won the category for ‘Towards net zero’ at the Engineering Net Zero Week’s (ENZ) photography competition.
The ENZ, led by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), showcases the research and innovation landmarks that have led to new technologies and solutions to deliver a net zero world. The week’s activities focussed around four thematic areas:
*towards net zero energy
*solutions for a greener industry and urbanisation
*our green future
*delivering zero emissions transport and mobility solutions
Dr Togneri’s winning image shows the deployment, in West Wales, of a new scientific instrument, a converging beam acoustic Doppler current profiler. It will better gather data needed to validate computational models of the ocean and of tidal energy systems. This data can be shared across university researchers to gain a clearer understanding of how to capture the power the tides around the UK’s coasts.
Commenting on the event, Dr Lucy Martin, EPSRC’s Deputy Director for Cross Council Programmes, said:
“Our Engineering Net Zero Week and this photography competition have been an ideal platform for the engineering and scientific community to show what they are doing to address the pressing problems of climate change and moving towards a carbon neutral future.
Congratulations to the competition winners and thank you to all those who entered, pictures are often worth more than words and these images tell some positive stories.”
