2017: \u00a0<\/strong>This conference \u00a0was held on 3rd April, 2017 \u00a0and provided an avenue for PGR students from a range of disciplines to get together to expand their knowledge and experiences related to their research. The event had different sessions: oral presentations (20 minutes), poster session, lunch and social event.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Keynote Speaker-<\/strong>Dr Hao Lee i<\/strong>s an alumnus PhD student of Mechanical Engineering. Since his graduation in 2015, he has undertaken the role of SIMULIA Solution Consultant at Dassault Systemes in Warrington, UK. As a keynote speaker, he will share both his experience at University of Manchester and the transition to his current role in the industry<\/p>\n
