Dr Elinor Castle BEng, AFHEA, PhD

Ceramics Research and Industrial Liaison Manager
Currently developing new "High Entropy" Ultra-High Temperature Ceramic (UHTCs) compositions while managing QMUL's ceramics research links with industry through our spin-out company "Nanoforce Technology Ltd.". Expertise in the non-equilibrium processing of materials by rapid solidification and field/current-assisted sintering. Research to date has included: assessing the microstructral and texture evolution of metals during rapid solidification using containerless solidification methods, and; the development of fully dense, nanostructured and textured Heavy Rare Earth-free Nd-Fe-B hard magnetic materials using rapid Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and novel ultra-rapid 'Flash-SPS' (FSPS) techniques.

Dr Jelizaveta Konstantinova Prof Eng, PhD

Postdoctoral Research Assistant at The Centre for Advanced Robotics (ARQ)
My current research involves sensor development, tactile perception, sensory data fusion and learning methods for robotics. My research focus is on the perception of the world via somatosensory system. I am interested to learn the perception capabilities from living organisms and to apply it to robotics, as well as to study the ways we should interpret tactile information obtained with robotic sensory system.
