From Receptors to Effectors (RECEF)

Excited to have been granted a Leeds Creative Labs Follow-On Fund award to enable the development of our project From Receptors to Effectors (RECEF). I will be developing ideas around effective, innovative and impactful ways of linking the civil engineering concepts and terminologies surrounding cracks, stress and resilience in critical infrastructure focussing on bridges, to other key areas including the human body and wellbeing and the environment in cross-disciplinary ways in order to explore, raise awareness, educate and make an impact across the disciplines. My project partner is Vasilis Sarhosis, Chair in Resilient Structures and Infrastructure at the School of Civil Engineering, University of Leeds.
