Uwe
Mechanical Engineer
Hi, I’m Uwe and I check to see how strong your bones are. My curiosity about the structure of living materials, like bones or corals, inspired me to understand their strength and resilience. I have to be resilient too when things don’t always work first time. I’m passionate about helping people and the environment and my work identifies people whose bones are likely to break or coral reefs that are likely to be damaged so we can act early to save them. What I love about engineering is the creation of something new.
