James Uzzell and James Griffith, from the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Composites Science, Engineering and Manufacturing (CoSEM CDT), have been named in Bristol’s first cohort of Early Career Enterprise Fellowships (ECEF).

The ECEF scheme supports early career researchers to gain the skills necessary to make progress in commercialising University intellectual property. It provides each participant with a comprehensive training programme, dedicated support of a commercialisation manager and £2,000 funding to enable the ECEF to effectively buyout their time and devote dedicated time to the scheme.

James Uzzell, 2020 CoSEM CDT cohort, has developed a concept for a new dynamic induction coil for energy efficient composite manufacturing, and will develop a prototype to gain industry validation and produce a case from patenting.

James Griffith, 2021 CoSEM CDT cohort, aims to develop a new high-quality demonstrator panel to take forward for testing with a view to commercialisation.
