We are pleased to announce the recent cohort of hiring's for the HBBE.
In the last few months, we have grown quite a bit and have filled ten new research fellow positions split between the NUAct Fellows at Newcastle University, Carmen McLeod, Jane Scott & Magdalini Theodoridou, and the Vice-Chancellor's Fellows at Northumbria University, Matthew Bashton, Yunhong Jiang, Angela Sherry, Warispreet Singh, Rajesh Bommareddy, Shafeer Kalathil & Paul James.
“I was really excited to join the HBBE as a Senior Research Fellow. The Hub provides a space where I can explore my research ideas in a friendly, informal setting with colleagues from a wide range of disciplines. This provides a unique environment in which I am able to shape my research ideas with input from a range of different perspectives, which has already led to collaborations I perhaps would not have thought of without the interdisciplinary jamboree that the Hub provides. Five months into this role, and I have already diversified my research portfolio due to the knowledge gained from interacting with a range of scientists in disciplines such as design, architecture, materials science, bioinformatics, engineering and biosciences. The new laboratory infrastructure that the Hub provides will also ensure my research becomes a reality, which will be tested in an applied setting in the experimental living house, the 'OME, to create biotechnological solutions for the real world.”
“I am excited to be joining a new multi disciplinary team and working together to create a host of new biotechnologies to help improve the sustainability of the built environment. While I will mainly be based in the Building metabolism theme the great thing about the hub is our research will cross the different themes bringing together new ideas and new ways of thinking to each others research questions. Another exciting element of the HBBE is the OME somewhere we can not only put the biotechnologies we create into testing but somewhere we can demonstrate our research to the public and engage with people to showcase the range of work being done in the hub. I have already been blown away by the amazing projects and PhD students the hub has and I can't wait to get into the lab and begin the next stage of my research career.”
“As a textile design researcher, it has been a huge privilege to join HBBE, working within such an ambitious, multidisciplinary team. I have always used biology as inspiration for design research, but HBBE has enabled me to become immersed in the science from many different perspectives. I am excited to imagine how our expertise and approach will transform the creative potential to design with biology using textile fabrication processes.”
“I’m really excited to have joined the Hub for Biotechnology in the Built Environment, working with a diverse team across a veriety of disciplines has huge potential for some very interesting and timely outcomes in an emerging field.”
“Science is predictable and unpredictable. Don’t close our eyes to the possibilities. I’ve heard from so many people how awesome you were in the HBBE group. I’m super excited to work and collaborate with you all to meet our goals.”
“Can we use biotechnology to boost the immune system of buildings and historic structures?”
“I am really excited to join a very good multidisciplinary team who are enthusiastic in addressing sustainability goals.”
“I am very excited about joining the HBBE and to have the opportunity to carry out research with such a creative and transdisciplinary research group. I also count myself lucky to work with such a genuinely nice bunch of people!”
Their experience and talents will be a great addition to the Hub for Biotechnology in the Built Environment, and we are excited to have them all join our growing team. Welcome aboard!
