Prof. Karen Holford
Earlier this year Professor Karen Holford was named among the UK’s Top 50 Women in Engineering in a list compiled by the Daily Telegraph. We’ve featuredΜύher remarkable work on Science CafΓ© before, so this seemed the perfect excuse to pay her a visit and get an update.Μύ
Karen is Pro Vice Chancellor for Physical Sciences and Engineering at Cardiff University andΜύshe works in acoustic engineering research. This pioneering technology has greatly improved the safety monitoring of bridges, including the Oakland Bay Bridge near SanΜύFrancisco. The team in Cardiff now hope to extend this technology to a new generation of aircraft.Μύ
Adam meets Karen to talk about her career and research and to see for himself her department's work.
