We are delighted to announce that St Cross Fellow Professor Paul Shearing has been elected as Fellow to The Royal Academy of Engineering.
The Academy noted that each of the new Fellows elected in September “has made exceptional contributions to their own sector, pioneering new innovations, leading progress in business or academia, providing high level advice to government, or promoting wider understanding of engineering and technology.”
Speaking of his new election Professor Paul Shearing, Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Battery Technologies, Director of the ZERO Institute and Statutory Professor in Sustainable Energy Engineering, says,
I have been involved with The Royal Academy of Engineering since school, and my decision to take an undergraduate engineering degree was a result of the Academy’s ‘Headstart’ programme. Almost 25 years later, it is a huge privilege to have been elected a Fellow which recognises the importance of our research supporting the zero-carbon Energy Transition and the huge contributions of the diverse, talented team I have had the incredible opportunity to work with over that time.
Professor Shearing will be formally admitted to the Academy at a special ceremony in London on 27 November, when each Fellow will sign the roll book.
