Professor Danielle George

“As engineers and technicians, I think we all have a duty to talk about our passions to inspire the next generation.”Danielle George is Professor of Radio Frequency Engineering at the University of Manchester and a science communicator. Her expertise in radio frequency engineering and microwave communications is applicable to broad range of scientific and industrial sectors.She has worked with NASA and ESA on the development of instrumentation for researchers exploring the Big Bang. Her most recent work on broadband amplifier design at 116GHz is state-of-the-art and pushing the very limits of semiconductor technology.“For as long as I can remember I was always interested in science – from playing with my chemistry set as a child to studying things under a microscope. My passion soon branched out into astronomy after watching an eclipse with my family.”An ambassador for STEM, she gave the 2014 Royal Institution Christmas Lecture, co-founded and developed the Manchester Robot Orchestra as a citizen science initiative, has given TED and TEDx talks, and was awarded the MBE in 2016.“For me, it’s not just the legacy aspect, it’s about telling the stories of the incredible difference makers around the world who want to get involved and inspiring the next generation into solving engineering challenges.”

Ivan Ling

University of Southampton, Malaysia, Assistant Professor

Dr. Ivan is an Assistant Professor in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He is involved in the delivery of various EEE courses related to programming, digital systems and microprocessor design. His research interest includes the development and fabrication of smart sensors, particularly using carbon-based materials, IoT applications of sensors and machine learning algorithms for interpreting multi-dimensional sensor data.Dr. Ivan graduated top of his class in 2014 from Swinburne University of Technology with a first-class honours degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. In 2020, he was awarded a PhD from the University of Southampton for his work on the design and development of nanocrystalline graphene/graphite based environmental sensors. Before joining the University of Southampton, Ivan works at the Swinburne University of Technology as a research engineer, specializing in Linux based servers for high-performance CCTV applications. Ivan is also the recipient of the Anugerah Belia Inovasi (Innovative Youth Award) granted by the State Government of Sarawak and the winner of the IET-Greenpeace Global Challenge Award in 2019. Dr. Ivan is an active member of IET, IEM and IEEE. He is currently the Vice-Chairman of the IET Malaysia Young Professional Section, the Asia-Pacific Representative on the IET Young Professional Committee (YPC), an executive committee of the IEEE Malaysia Sensors and Nanotechnology Joint Council Chapter and IEM Electronic Engineering Technical Division. He is a reviewer for the IEEE International Conference on Sensors and Nanotechnology.
