St Catz Alumni recognised in New Year Honours
Three members of the St Catherine's community have been recognised in the 2018 New Year's Honours list.
For services to the Energy Sector, Joanna Coleman (1986, Engineering) has been awarded an OBE. In her role as Director of Strategy for the Energy Technologies Institute, Jo has been committed to her work in the field of low carbon technology and innovation.
Commenting on her award, she said: "I am astonished, delighted and deeply, deeply honoured to receive this award. I have had a fantastic six and a half years working at the ETI with some amazing and talented people. Progress in engineering, innovation and complex systems is almost always made by teams rather than individuals and the ETI is a great example of this. This award reflects the hard work and determination of everyone who has worked at the ETI, our project partners, members and advisors, but none more so than our dearly departed former Chief Executive Dr David Clarke whose leadership and vision inspired us all.”
Professor Mark Miodownik (1988, Metallurgy) was awarded an MBE for his services to Science, Engineering and Broadcasting. Mark is Professor of Materials Science at University College London, where his research, carried out in collaboration with industry, hospitals and charities, includes animate matter, smart materials, and novel manufacturing methods. Mark also presents accessible science TV programmes for the BBC.
