Each evening of Spring Into STEM 2.0 will feature two TED-style talks by expert researchers, offering interdisciplinary perspectives on meaningful applications of engineering, followed by a Q&A session and refreshments. 

You'll hear talks from two experts from very different backgrounds, but with a shared commitment to transforming something harmful to people or the planet into something positive. Ashly Fuller will present her research on preventing the sale of drugs on social media; followed by Jack Jeffries, who looks at how enzymes can be also be used to deal with the global plastic problem.

Speakers: Ashly Fuller, PhD Researcher in Online Safety, Department of Security and Crime Science. Dr Jack Jeffries, Lecturer in Biocatalysis and Biocatalyst Engineering, Department of Biochemical Engineering.

This event is being live streamed on our UCL Engineering YouTube channel.
