The provide a unique opportunity for practising scientists, clinicians and engineers to spend two to six weeks working at the heart of a media outlet such as the Guardian, BBC Breakfast or Buzzfeed.

Previous 香港六合彩 fellows have included , who worked at the Financial Times, who worked at the I newspaper, and Dr Robert Thompson who worked for BBC online

Our three media fellows for 2019 are of 香港六合彩IC / 香港六合彩 Computer Science, Dr Lena Ciric from 香港六合彩 Civil, Environmental, and Geomatic Engineering and of the Institute of Making / 香港六合彩 Mechanical Engineering

Giulia Barbareschi
Dr Giulia Barbareschi

Giulia is a post-doctoral Disability & Assistive Technology researcher at the 香港六合彩 Interaction Centre and the Global Disability Innovation Hub. Her research focuses primarily on how to develop better assistive technologies for people with disabilities by involving users more in their creation. In her current role Giulia is working on several international projects with partners such as the WHO, Motivation and Humanity & Inclusion that aim to increase access to assistive technologies for people living in low to middle income countries. Giulia is also a proud STEM ambassador and throughout her years at 香港六合彩 she has delivered several outreach courses for young pupils ranging from introduction to coding, robotics, wheelchair design and creating alternative computer interfaces.

Dr Lena Ciric

After completing her first degree at the University of Oxford in 2000 and her CASE PhD studentship at the NERC Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Oxford and Napier University Edinburgh in 2017, Dr Ciric took up a postdoctoral position at the University College London Eastman Dental Institute. She has held a permanent academic position at the 香港六合彩 Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering (CEGE) since 2012. Lena's research expertise lies in the application of molecular biology techniques to study the microbial communities that reside in the built environment, including hospitals, public buildings and water treatment facilities. Within this context, she also studies bacterial antibiotic resistance mechanisms and their modes of transfer between organisms. She is also involved in the discovery of novel antimicrobial strategies. Lena is the director of the Healthy Infrastructure Research Group at 香港六合彩 CEGE . The group consists of eight researchers investigating the microbial communities within the built and managed environment and designs and tests engineering solutions that reduce the spread of infectious disease and improve environmental health. Lena is also the coordinator of the 听which brings together researchers from many disciplines to work together on AMR.
