Mafalda Ribeiro

Mafalda is studying on the intergated MRes / PhD programme in Computer Science as part of the UKRI's Centre for Doctoral Training in Accountable, Responsible, and Transparent AI (ART-AI) at the University of Bath. Satrting in 2018, she recently completed her Masters Degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering at the University of Bath, with a final year project focusing on the development of a microfluidic multielectrode arrays for the detection of cellular electrical activity. She also has experience in IC digital design and verification from a year long placement at Intel, where she also published a paper on Design-for-Test automation for a Synopsys User Group Conference. She is supervised by Dr Metcalfe and Co-Supervised by Dr Cole. Outside of engineering, Mafalda enjoys travelling and painting.

Dr. Nouf Zaghloul

Nouf graduated from the University of Leeds in 2017 with a BSc in Nanotechnology, and went on to study her PhD at the Bristol Centre for Functional Nanomaterials at the University of Bristol. Her research involved laser-scribing polymer thin films for flexible electronics. During her PhD, Nouf successfully secured a UKRI Doctoral exchange grant to work at the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology in Canada under the supervision of Prof. Michael Pope. Her research in Canada focused on Langmuir-Blodgett functional thin films. Nouf is now a PDRA at the University of Bath working in collaboration with Glass Flake to produce graphene enhanced glass flake thermoplastics. Outside research, Nouf enjoys karate, archery and CAD modelling.

Owain Hughes

Owain graduated from Lancaster University in 2023 with an MPhys degree, in which he focused on simulating 2-Dimensional MoS₂ transistors at ultra-low temperatures for his final year project. He is starting as a PhD candidate in 2024, in the Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering at the University of Bath under the supervision of Dr Matt Cole. Outside of research, Owain enjoys paddleboarding and running.

Thesis: Growth & Integration of Two-Dimensional Superconducting Materials

Alex Williams

Alex is a BEng EEE student that enjoys the more hands-on side of engineering. Outside of engineering he enjoys gaming both video and tabletop, particularly Dungeons and Dragons.

Thesis: Development of a Nanomaterial Based Xray Gun

Joe Styles

Joe is a final year MEng student studying Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Bath. His final year project involves ad hoc patterning to create line widths of sub 50 µm. Outside of his studies, Joe enjoys weightlifting, reading literature and cycling.
