Mr Andrew Avent Thermoacoustic devices Andrew came to academia following a successful career as a pattern-maker, boat-builder and marine engineer. Having attained his masters in mechanical engineering at the University of Plymouth he joined Prof. Chris' Bowen NEMESIS project in October 2014. Passionate about thermoacoustics and its potential across arrange of fields, he is currently building a test rig to characterize the behavior of the principle components in a range of operating conditions and is looking to pin down principle performance parameters; validating his numerical models.

Mr James I. Roscow Porous ferroelectric materials for energy harvesting James Roscow is a postgraduate research student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath, working within the Novel Energy Materials: Engineering Science and Integrated Systems (NEMESIS) group, led by Professor Chris Bowen. James grew up a few miles from Bristol before undertaking a B.Sc. in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Manchester, graduating in 2013. After finishing in Manchester, James moved back to Bristol and worked as a technician in a mechanical testing lab for a year before beginning his Ph.D. in September 2014.

Mr Marcin Krasny Thick film technologies for energy harvesting Marcin Krasny has received the M.Sc.Eng. degree in Electronics and Communication with specialisation in Microsystems from Wroclaw University of Technology, Poland, in 2012. His interest and experience include the topic of electronics for various applications, like sensor's signal gathering, conditioning and RF data transmitting especially for sensitive bio-signals. Project being realised within his master thesis concerned development of a system for wireless electroencephalography (EEG) signal acquisition with a possibility of gathering signals from up to 20 EEG sets simultaneously. Such a system can be very beneficial for large groups brain response to external stimuli analysis for psychology or marketing purposes. After graduation he has worked for electronic company in Berlin, main focus of which was design and development of electric motors' drivers being used in industry. Marcin joined NEMESIS in August 2015 and currently is a doctoral candidate in the field of piezoelectric energy harvesting. The main focus of his research is on the Thick Film Technology which allows for producing integrated electronic systems with elements readily printed on them and their employment for gathering the power from environmental vibration sources.
