This has been a busy and productive year for the Insigneo Institute. We’re proud to have grown our membership to over 400 academics, researchers and healthcare professionals and we have been acknowledged as one of the University of Sheffield’s cross-faculty research Centres of Excellence.
Our research themes are flourishing with very well-attended seminars and workshops, as well as several large collaborative initiatives launched from the themes this year.
As we grow, the responsibility of directing our expanding institute grows and we’re happy to announce that Damien Lacroix, from the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering, has agreed to take on the role of Co-Director of the Insigneo Institute.
Damien is a founding member of the Insigneo Institute and I have very much enjoyed working with him over the years, both as a former research director and more recently in his role as Deputy Director since 2022.
"The co-directorship reflects the contribution of both Damien and the Faculty of Engineering to the Insigneo Institute as we go from strength to strength."
Jim Wild, Insigneo Co-Director
