Mostafa Atalla from Delft University of Technology (TuDelft) in the Netherlands visited the University of Sheffield (UoS) as part of the EPSRC funded “Tribology as Enabling Technology” Project in early August 2023. He utilised this visit to enhance his PhD research focused on the development of ultrasound by utilising the techniques and equipment at the UoS. He had the opportunity to interact with a range of researchers within the University of Sheffield, including Post Doctoral Researchers and fellow PhD students. He was able to visit the labs and see the current research being performed at the UoS. We were able to identify ways we could apply his technology to our research to understand it more for better applications in the future. The research team, along with Mostafa, exceeded expectations and managed to collect an astounding amount of data in the 2 weeks he was visiting as well as identify future collaborations and research opportunities between the two groups. In addition Mostafa also got to experience some iconic British culture including a lot of rain in the Peak District and watching Manchester United play at Old Trafford!
An extremely successful visit all around with future collaborations already in the works!
