Richard Windslow won the London Region Young Person Lecture Competition organised by the IOM3. In a strong competition with many excellent contestants, his talk on how materials science can improve the design of elastomer seals for the oil and gas industry was ranked highest by all the judges. Richard, who is supervised by Prof. James Busfield, was commended for his excellent preparation and delivery.

QMUL had a clean sweep of all the prizes this year with Richard winning, Kseniya Shuturminska (formally a Materials UG student and now a PhD student in the QMUL Dental Institute co-supervised by SEMS staff) placed second and Weite Huang (also from the Dental Institute) third.

Richard now goes onto the South East regional final where he will be competing for a place in the national final.
