Elizabeth Eaves was born and raised in South-West England and holds both an MSci degree in Chemistry from the University of Nottingham (UK) and a PhD in Polymer Science and Engineering from the University of Manchester (UK).
After 5 years spent developing and commercializing bio-based plastics, Elizabeth joined Mattel in 2021 where she is responsible for the quality, product safety and regulatory compliance aspects of Mattel’s sustainability journey.
Louise is currently working for Rolls-Royce Plc as a Materials Specialist focusing on the development of materials for net-zero. In particular she is the materials lead for the hydrogen burning gas turbine engine demonstrator program. As part of her role she leads materials test programmes and university research to validate and risk-reduce aerospace materials to enable use of hydrogen.
Louise studied Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, specialising in Materials Science. She then started at Rolls-Royce on their Engineering Graduate Scheme, where she did a range of placements including manufacturing, material testing and failure investigation. After finishing the graduate scheme she joined the Material Capability Acquisition team working on the development of ceramic matrix composites for introduction into Rolls-Royce's civil aero engines.
Malavika Nair is an Associate Professor in Biomaterials at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering. Malavika is a materials scientist by training, obtaining a BA, MSci in Natural Sciences (2012-2016) and a PhD (2016-2019) from the University of Cambridge. Malavika's doctoral work was focused on the multiscale characterisation of ice, collagen, and ice-templated collagen scaffolds for tissue engineering. This was followed by post-doctoral research in 2020 combining machine learning techniques with experimental biomaterials datasets, and the award of a research fellowship at Emmanuel College where Malavika began working on electroactive biomaterials for tissue regeneration. In 2022, Malavika moved to the Oxford Institute of Biomedical Engineering to expand the work on electroactive biomaterials for use in bio-stimulation, bio-sensing and drug delivery, with the most recent work on electroactive biomaterials for cardiac regeneration funded by the EPSRC New Investigator Award (2024).
