Cohort 1 Induction Day 26 September 2025

The DigitalMetal CDT launched in September with our inaugural Induction Day. Hosted at the Sir Bob Burgess Building at the University of Leicester, it brought together Cohort 1 Phase 1 students & CDT Partner Institutions.

Our first Cohort 1 students met for the first time in late September. This meeting offered a fantastic opportunity for them to get to know each other and establish connections with the DigitalMetal Team; Prof Hong Dong, Dir. Of the CDT and co-inspectors Prof. Nick Green (Univ. of Birmingham), Prof. Steven Kenny (Univ. of Loughborough), Prof. Darek Ceglarek & Prof. Sai Gu (Univ. of Wawick), Prof. Tanvir Hussain & Dr Geert De Maere (Univ. of Nottingham), Prof Nicola Bateman & Dr Daniel Hao (Univ. of Leicester) alongside Dr Maryam Khaksar Ghalati, the Centre Manager for DigitalMetal.
