Many congratulations to BNDU Group Leader Professor Tim Denison on the announcement today of his election to the Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Engineering.

Professor Tim Denison

The Royal Academy of Engineering is an independent body in the UK, seeking to harness the power of engineering to build a sustainable society and an inclusive economy that works for everyone. Fellowship of the Academy is based on exceptional contributions to the field of engineering and technology. A small number of new Fellows are elected each year.

“This recognition reflects the efforts of a multidisciplinary team of engineers, scientists, clinicians and entrepreneurs

Tim commented “This recognition reflects the efforts of a multidisciplinary team of engineers, scientists, clinicians and entrepreneurs. I would particularly like to thank the research participants who have volunteered over the years, without whom the new frontiers of treatments could not be explored.”

Unit Director Professor Peter Magill commented “We are all thrilled for Tim. This honour is richly deserved. Tim is a true pioneer of biomedical engineering. His state-of-the-art tools have not only advanced neuroscience discovery research but also led to tangible benefits to human health and wellbeing.”

Professor Denison holds a joint appointment in Engineering Science and Clinical Neurosciences at Oxford, where he explores the fundamentals of physiologic closed-loop systems.
