October was an exciting month for ECFP, with Dr Andreia Fonseca da Silva being awarded an Industry Fellowship from the Royal Society and Dr Denise Li moving into a new role of Business Development Executive.
The Royal Society’s Industry Fellowship scheme enables the mobility of researchers across academia or industry; enhances knowledge exchange; stimulates longer-term collaborations; and establishes personal, scientific and corporate links. The Industry Fellowship is part of the Royal Society’s wider Science and Industry Programme which strives to promote the value and importance of science by connecting academia, industry and government. Dr Fonseca da Silva’s work already involves collaborative projects with commercial contacts, however this Industry Fellowship will enable her to expend on this work and develop new collaborations with industrial partners.
Dr Fonseca da Silva’s research focuses on using physical, chemical and mechanical techniques to understand both the macroscopic and microscopic behaviour of complex fluids, and the contribution of isolated components, with the aim of developing new formulations. During the Fellowship, she will be working with biomedical company Hyaltech Ltd., a subsidiary of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, who are a leading manufacturer of Ophthalmic Viscosurgical Devices which are used in eye surgery. Her work will involve developing a solid scientific foundation of viscoelastic fluid flows in order to advance formulation design and facilitate product innovation.
Connecting the fundamental research carried out by the Soft Matter & Biological Physics group at Edinburgh to real-world applications is central to ECFP’s mission. We are therefore pleased to announce that Dr Denise Li will be moving into a new role of Business Development Executive at ECFP to support these efforts. Through her previous position as an Impact Acceleration Associate, Denise has extensive experience of working on collaborative projects between academia and industry, and she is passionate about fostering collaborations to enable innovation and product development in sectors such as food and drink, personal care and cosmetics.
