Women in Engineering

Submitted by Laure Ballu on

Women in Engineering: solving real-life problems today for a better tomorrow
Five women engineers based at the Biotribology lab at Imperial Colleage London tell us about their work, their aspirations for the future, and the advice for other women caonsidering careers in engineering.
They tell us about their work to understand and recreate human cartilage to reduce the need for animal testing, to improve the longevity of hip and knee replacements, and techniques that could help to treat aggressive brain cancers.
We hope you find their stories as inspiring as we do.
