Four Oxford researchers awarded Royal Academy of Engineering fellowships

Four engineers at Oxford University are among fifty to have been elected as Fellows of the Royal Academy of Engineering today. Those honoured include Professors Eleanor Stride and Roger Reed of the Department of Engineering Science, Ursula Martin, Professor of Computer Science at the Department of Computer Science, and Professor Anne Trefethen, Fellow of St Cross College. The 50 new Fellows were formally admitted to the Academy at its AGM in London on Wednesday 6th September. Professor Anne Trefethen is the University's Chief Information Officer and Pro-Vice Chancellor for Academic Resources & Information Systems. She is also Professor of Scientific Computing, Director of the Oxford e-Research Centre, and Co-Director of the James Martin Institute for the Future of Computing. Professor Roger Reed is a world leader in the engineering and science of high-temperature alloys, particularly the design and processing of nickel superalloys, which are ubiquitous in the aero-engine and power-generation industries. His sustained efforts in process modelling have been instrumental in the impact on industrial practice.
