Bioengineering Student Wins Prize at Poster Competition for Bio-Medical Ceramics Research

Sam Jeffery, a Bioengineering student, has been awarded a prize for a poster he presented at an internship showcase earlier this month.

His research, titled “Synthesis and Additive Manufacture of Piezoelectric Ceramic Scaffolds for Tissue and Neural Regeneration,” was supervised by Dr Thanos Goulas and Dr Sina Saremi-Yarahmadi, both members of the Advanced Ceramics Research Group at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ.

Sam's project explored the development of piezoelectric ceramic scaffolds; materials with the potential to enhance tissue and neural regeneration through their electrical properties. His innovative work merges bioengineering and advanced ceramics, offering promising insights for future medical applications.

Following the award, Dr Thanos Goulas said: “Sam’s achievement reflects both his dedication, and the innovative research environment fostered by the Advanced Ceramics Research Group. 

“The Henry Royce Institute’s support played a crucial role in enabling this important research, which could have far-reaching implications for healthcare advancements.”

More information about the internship scheme and a copy of Sam’s poster can be found on the Henry Royce Institute website.
