The EPSRC Future Advanced Metrology Hub for Sustainable Manufacturing Launch event will be held on Thursday 20 February at the University of Huddersfield.
The EPSRC Future Advanced Metrology Hub for Sustainable Manufacturing is a seven-year collaboration led by the University of Huddersfield with research spokes at The University of Southampton, The University of Oxford, Heriot-Watt University and Queen’s University Belfast.
The consortium aims to develop groundbreaking new technologies which will enable a step change in capability for process monitoring and control. These technologies will include ultra-fast and compact sensors utilising nanophotonic metamaterials and quantum sensing along with resilient interpretable metrology informatics, and whole-system control solutions which are applicable to any precision manufacturing sector.
To further accelerate the impact of the research, innovation spokes have been created at Manufacturing Technology Centre in Coventry and the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre in Rotherham, as well as the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, which also has a North of England base on campus in Huddersfield.
Confirmed speakers include Dr Anke Davis (EPSRC Head of Manufacturing and Circular Economy Theme), Adam Thompson MP and Prof John Loughhead CB OBE. There will also be an exhibition of the hub’s research topics, optional tours of the laboratory facilities and networking opportunities with the Hub team and other industrial metrologists.
