Doyin Mansell completed her PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath, during which she developed methods of quantifying changes to left ventricular function following myocardial infarction in collaboration with cardiovascular surgeons from the University of Bristol.
Alongside her research, she regularly led under-18s outreach activities, organised seminars, and aided in the successful departmental application for Athena SWAN Silver status. The critical thinking, communications, and collaborative working skills gained throughout this time are applied in bringing a non-specialist research perspective to managing large, multi-institution research programmes.
She has successfully managed UKRI projects in aerospace (LightForm, EPSRC EP/R001715/1) and nuclear sectors (MIDAS, EPSRC EP/S01702X/1), and has bought this experience to managing the JUST Centre.
