Andres Reaches 3-Minute Thesis Final

Andres Reaches 3-Minute Thesis Final

Our PhD student Andres Rivero made it to the Bristol three-minute thesis final with his presentation on flexible airplanes.

Three Minute Thesis is an international competition that celebrates exciting research by PhD students. Developed by The University of Queensland , the competition cultivates students’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills. Presenting in a 3MT competition increases your capacity to effectively explain your research in three minutes, using lay language. Competitors are allowed one PowerPoint slide, but no other resources or props.

This year Andres Rivero from the School of Civil, Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering made it to the Bristol final with his presentation, ‘Flexible airplanes: achieving higher fuel efficiency by adapting wing shapes during flight’.
