Congratulations to Maria Jose Munguia Romero who joins an honourable line of Soft Matter Group PhD students to win awards at the Russell Binions Symposium. Maria presented her work on approaches being taken by some shoe manufacturers to make their trainers more sustainable.

She came 2nd overall in the Intelligent Transport Category. I like the idea that walking / running shoes are part of transport research at QMUL. You might notice that I bombed her photo being congratulated by Hazel as a proud supervisor.
