Our students research team presented six posters at the Industrial Liaison Forum (ILF) on the 5th November 2024, marking their second participation in this bi-annual event, and demonstrating a strong commitment to advancing research alongside PhD students and Postdoctoral researchers at the School of Engineering and Materials Science. The quality of the posters presented reflect not only their dedication but also the progress they've made across a diverse range of research topics.

Among the six posters presented—the maximum allowed for undergraduates this time—Arrin Erral Fernandes and Jarifa Tasnim Shah won the prize for best poster with their project titled "Development of Novel Surface Textures to Reduce Aerodynamic Drag", supervised by Dr Kshitij Sabnis. The other projects presented included:

• "DLP Printing of Chips for Microvascularised Tissue Models" by Jake Seah, D. Carta, D. Hayer, H. Heidari, J.E. Gautrot.
• "Investigating Charging and Discharging Rates of Lithium-Ion Batteries through Graphite Alignment" by Limbani Konwani Mdebwe, Salvatore Grasso, Shahad Alfadhli.
• "Modelling Orbital Dynamics of Swarm Satellite Constellations" by Emma Nicolai.
• "'Sway and Play': The Mathematics of Playground Swinging" by Barbaros Zeren, Yash Vaghela, Rehan Shah:
• "'String and Spin': Investigating the Dynamics of Yo-Yo Tricks" by Muhie Al-Haimus, Allegra Celesia, Rehan Shah.

These projects highlight the breadth of research topics explored at QMCUR, showcasing innovative investigations across a broad range of disciplines. Our team extends its gratitude to the ILF organizers for this opportunity and to the projects' supervisors for overseeing the research activities.
