PhD student, Brian Graves, won Churchill College Shell Prize.

The Shell Prize is given to the best research proposal from a Post Doc, Graduate or Undergraduate student at Churchill College. This year two prizes were awarded. It is targeted toward STEM subjects, particularly projects with relevance to energy, engineering, and big data.

The Centre for Sustainable Road Freight has a position available for a Masters or PhD level applicant. The two year project will seek to develop sensors for full vehicle energy use and emissions monitoring of in-use vehicles via Android apps. Project management and entrepreneurship are highly valued, as it is likely that portions of the work will be commercialized.
