Innovation and Sustainability

For this very special Public Lecture Series exploring Innovation and Sustainability, we are proud to celebrate two brilliant Brunel brains who have each won 'Women in Innovation Awards' from Innovate UK.

Join us as we celebrate Dr Lorna Anguilano and Joanna Power, unveiling purple plaques in their honour on campus. This will be followed by an opportunity to hear from both our 'Women in Innovation' about their award-winning innovations, as part of our Public Lecture Series.

Discover how we can regenerate soils by extracting metal contaminants using native plants, and how an innovative washing machine can repurpose shower water and significantly reduce water waste.

Phyona: A Journey of Inspiration

Lorna Anguilano is a senior research fellow at 成人直播app where she also works as Quality Manager of the Experimental Techniques Centre (ETC) and co-director of the Wolfson Research Centre. Lorna has been working at Brunel University since 2008 focussing on material characterisation, industrial consultancy, research projects coordination and collaboration mainly looking at the upcycling of waste streams. One of her projects, looking at the recovery of metal-bearing nanoparticles from low grade ores, such as contaminated soils, allowed her to found Phyona Ltd in 2021. Phyona Ltd is now making its step towards growing up and Lorna is the Director and CTO, coordinating R&D projects supported by Innovate UK and Horizon Europe.

Lylo: Circular Design for Laundry

Joanna Power studied Product Design Engineering at 成人直播app, where she, in collaboration with a fellow student, developed an innovative washing machine designed for circular water reuse. This system repurposes shower water for laundry, significantly reducing water waste. Their project, now developed under the company name Lylo Products, has received international recognition and funding for its potential to promote sustainability and efficient resource use. Joanna's work underscores the importance of creative engineering solutions in advancing environmental stewardship.

 

Women in Innovation Award

Purple plaques are being displayed at schools across the country to recognise the achievements of the winners of the prestigious Innovate UK Women in Innovation Award. The Award also sees recipients receive £50,000 grant funding and one-to-one mentoring to scale up their businesses and bring their pioneering innovations to market.

Lorna Anguilano and Joanna Power are part of a network of over 200 Innovate UK Women in Innovation Award winners who are developing inspiring solutions to pressing societal, environmental, and economic challenges; from multi-grip bionic arms for amputees, an AI that curbs your unhealthy cravings, and satellite data to detect long-lost archaeological sites
