Abstract
"Through my work, I want to perpetuate a greater idea of what engineering is because it is so limitless and so creative and so rewarding as a career. I feel like it is my mission to spread that word. I am hopeful for the future of engineering being much more gender balanced."
Dickon Ross speaks to mechanical engineer and broadcaster, Dr Shini Somara who shares her views on some of the most exciting innovations to come out of the Covid 19 crisis, including UVC light solutions, why she is looking forward to writing a new column for E&T magazine which addresses diversity and inclusion in engineering and which entries have caught her eye in this year's Innovation Awards.
