Graduate engineering prize

15 May 2014

Congratulations to Dr Daniel Mulvihill, who completed his doctorate at the Department of Engineering Science and Hertford College last year, for winning the 2013 Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) Tribology Trust Bronze Medal Award.

Daniel, who also taught Hertford undergraduates and was involved in admissions interviewing for Engineering Science, described his project: “This project was concerned with trying to develop a better understanding of frictional joint behaviour – focusing particularly on friction and contact stiffness. It allowed me to develop a very useful combination of skills in using both experimental and computer simulation techniques to address engineering research problems.”
