    #45 | Degrees of Freedom #4: Matt From Bristol City Council's Innovation Team

    How’s this for a late Christmas present on the 12th day of Christmas? DOFPOD Thursdays are back! Alby and Ellie sat down with Matt from Bristol City Council for our last recording of 2022 to talk behaviour change, heat pumps, community engagement, “sprinkling innovation” and much more.  This is a great listen if you’re interested in how public sector innovation works or you love thinking about how we can engage more people in addressing the climate crisis.  It’s not for you if you want to hear Alby talking about nuclear fusion for 5 minutes because Ellie insisted on cutting that out Enjoy, tell a friend, get in touch, and keep an eye out for LOTS of exciting podcasts from Degrees of Freedom in 2023. ---- Engenius is produced by a team of engineering students at the University of Bristol.

    #42 | Meet Your Lecturer 2 - James Norman and Dominika Malkowska

    Manas and Saif talk to James Norman and Dominika Malkowska, about the future of sustainable civil engineering. James is an award-winning engineer and teacher, he has designed landmark buildings and developed innovative teaching that combines practice with learning. He’s written several books for engineers and students making sustainable building a reality. Dominika is a PhD student, under James' supervision, researching the use of Bamboo as a sustainable building material. We talk to James and Dominika about the role civil engineers play in solving the climate crisis, focussing on the materials that are used in sustainable building. They also share their experiences working in industry and the challenges they overcame progressing to academic research and teaching. For more on regenerative design, James recommends the following book and podcast: https://www.flourish-book.com/ Dominika's papers on Bamboo connections are available here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0950061822016415, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0950061822030148 You can watch James's inaugural lecture here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hXVVbMVR2k ---- Engenius is produced by a team of engineering students at the University of Bristol.

    #41 | Degrees of Freedom #1: Jay From Fabrio

    Hello! We are back with another episode of Degrees of Freedom. For our first ever proper episode we sit down for a chat with Jay Sahnan. Jay is only 23 and, whilst being an all round nice guy, has founded a software business and sent face masks round the world during the pandemic. Jay's business, Fabrio, is a software that is bringing STEM education into schools around the world allowing students anywhere to learn 3D modelling skills and develop as engineers, wherever they are. Jay founded Fabrio in his final year of studying engineering and we find out what motivated him to start a business, what the early days were like, where he sees Fabrio going in the future and plenty more in between!
