    About this event

    The following highlights will be presented:
    • How structured light is helping improve the accuracy of radio-therapy in the treatment of cancer? What are the mechanics of cancer cells, and how do they differ from normal cells? Could this insight lead to a new view on cancer and radiotherapy?
    • How lower cost fibre lasers offer great potential for the machining of carbon fibre composites?
    • How the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Group are developing the highest efficiency grinding machines yet, and reducing cutting fluid use to a mere trickle?
    • How using combined X-Ray inspection and ultrasonic microscopy leads to a greater understanding of the reliability of soldered joints on ball grid array electronic packages and assemblies?
    The GERI is one of the country’s leading University groups in the country, consistently rated in the top quarter of all General Engineering research teams over the last decade.Now GERI has an OUTREACH program to help NW companies secure grant funding for their research needs, the details of which will be presented in the evening’s program.
