Dr Kirsty Hewitson has been awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Visiting Professorship at The University of Manchester. This award recognises her leadership skills in robotics, along with her artificial intelligence and technology adoption across high-hazard industries.
Upon working with the Faculty of Science and Engineering, Dr Hewitson will support the next generation of engineers and innovators. This appointment further strengthens the collaboration that UKAEA have with The University of Manchester and its wider network of academic partners.
Three degree apprentices have completed their apprenticeship programmes at UKAEA, working with RACE, UKAEA's centre for Remote Applications in Challenging Environments. The end of five years learning, developing and implementing practical experience was marked by their graduation.
The programme combines university study with practical work experience. Apprentices have the opportunity to develop technical and professional skills through placements in different teams, before moving into a final specialist role.
