Engineering and Physics - Synergy for Success

Introduction

This event is aimed at scientists of all disciplines who are interested in the impact that interdisciplinary efforts can have on developments that spring initially from a natural science or an engineering base but call for cooperative work and/or research from both disciplines. A seminal example is the Manhattan atomic bomb project that could never have succeeded without such cooperation, and which led to understanding the inherent synergy of science and engineering that is nevertheless not always recognised today.

There will be fourteen papers at this conference, including two keynotes and they will draw on the skills and experiences of Engineers and Physicists working in a wide range of technologies, including steel making, aero engine design, inkjet printing, nuclear and renewable energies, meteorology, Bio-materials, MRI technology, sports science, laser applications and others. The economics involved in developments are often as important as the technologies per se and authors will deal with this also in their presentations

Papers will be published by the Institute and abstracts will be available to registrants before the conference.

In designing a conference of obvious relevance to its core values, the Engineering Physics Group is particularly keen to attract young scientists, engineers and students to an event that we expect to appeal very much to those looking toward a technology based career with an almost unlimited spectrum of applications and skills content.
