Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford

Four years. Hundreds of deadlines. One well-earned brunch 🥞🙌 Yesterday we celebrated our 4th years at The Breakfast Club before graduation and the next big adventure 🎓💛 #OxfordEngineering #StudentLife

Protecting biodiversity also means understanding the microscopic world. 🌍🦠 This #WorldBiodiversityDay, researchers share how their work on antimicrobial resistance helps safeguard ecosystems, environmental health and the future of medicine.

Today is World Day for Safety and Health at Work. Nikita Hari shares how we build safer, more supportive teaching and design environments and why it matters for everyone. #HealthAndSafety #WorkplaceWellbeing Watch 👇

What if you could revise while you sleep? 🧠 Oxford engineers have unveiled the Sleep-Learning Helmet, a device designed to revise lecture notes overnight. Still in development… so for now, revision it is. Happy April Fool’s Day! #AprilFoolsDay #EngineeringResearch #StudyHack

Oxford engineers developed a rapid, ultra-low-cost way to make soft robots using common lab equipment. Soft robotic actuators can now be fabricated in under 10 minutes for less than $0.10 each. Read more: https://f.mtr.cool/sjfoijdffn

Metals are crystals at the atomic scale. By controlling tiny defects in their structure, engineers create shape-memory alloys used in cardiovascular stents. Watch Mujan Seif's full spotlight talk here: https://f.mtr.cool/brcvlwktjb #NationalHeartMonth

Supporting women in science means building cultures where they can thrive. From DPhil candidates to postdocs, women are shaping bioengineering every day at our department. This #International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we’re sharing a glimpse of it and standing with women in STEM worldwide.
