New College student wins Engineering Award

Luke Hatton, fourth year Engineering Science student at New College, was recently awarded the Fourth Year Project Poster Prize, for the Best Poster in Energy Engineering by the department of Engineering Science.  

The competition offers students the opportunity to present their work to a wide-range of representatives from industry, alumni and academics in the Department of Engineering Science.

Luke's research project explored the impact of Climate Change on the cost of production of Green Ammonia from Offshore Wind.  You can view his prize-winning poster here

Luke, who has now completed his studies at New College, said:

'I'm really proud to have been selected as the category winner for Energy, and it was great to be able to present my research to alumni, research staff and external judges during the annual Lubbock Lecture in the Natural History Museum.  I thoroughly enjoyed my fourth year project and so the process of compiling all my work into an accessible format was very satisfying for me - winning the prize was an added bonus!

I'd like to thank my supervisors, Professor Rene Banares-Alcantara and Dr Sarah Sparrow for their support over the course of this year and for the opportunity to initiate this project on a topic of my choosing'.

Well done, Luke!
