I am very happy and humbled to share that I have been selected as the @RAEngNews Sir George Macfarlane Medal winner and have received a 2024 Young Engineer of the Year award. Thank you to @RAEngNews, @imperialcollege, my research group @ReSusInfra & my collaborators. #RAEngAwards

🚀 #ChemEngEnterprise spinout 2D Nano is exhibiting at the Advanced Materials Show! 📍Visit stand 1043 where they're showcasing cutting-edge research happening at @imperialcollege. 🌟 Don't miss the interactive graphene demo. @MaterialsShow

We had a fantastic #Outreach event yesterday hosting #GlobalSummerSchool students in the @Imperial_CEE @imperialcollege. Great to see them plan, design & build their bridges. Many thanks to everyone helping on the day. #STEM #Engineering #Outreach

Wonderful to attend the @RAEngNews #INWED Leadership Lunch 2025. The key takeaways were: be bold in initiating conversations & connections, nurture connections, use the power of engineering to build a strong network & do not be afraid to be judged. #INWED25 #TogetherWeEngineer

Thank you to everyone that came to see us @ExRdFestival @imperialcollege. We broke our previous record, with well over a 1,000 people testing #Kiacrete this weekend. All of the members of the @ReSusInfra & @RoboAMLab have worked very hard this weekend with highlights below.

We had a great day sharing the latest #Kiacrete developments with the public @ExRdFestival @imperialcollege. We had over 500 people testing Kiacrete and look forward to many more tomorrow. Many thanks to the members of the @ReSusInfra and @RoboAMLab.

Thank you @CIHTUK @CIHTEastMids for inviting me to speak at your 2025 conference on #ClimateAction: Building Resilience for an Uncertain Future. Truly enjoyed the panel discussions and thank you all for showing so much interest in #Kiacrete rsig.co.uk

We had a busy evening yesterday at our #Kiacrete stand @imperialcollege Lates: Future Cities event. Thank you to everyone from the @ReSusInfra who made last night possible. #FloodResilience #PuddleFree

Day 2 @UKConcreteShow was another busy day. I enjoyed presenting at the spotlight session & sharing recent #Kiacrete developments. Thank you @AndriusPatapas, @ReSusInfra & @craigb6 for making this event a success. Looking forward to following up on new discussions & next events.

We've had a great first day @UKConcreteShow with 2D Nano, @AndriusPatapas and @ReSusInfra at stand D34. Lots of good discussions & interest in graphene enhanced concrete & our puddle-free #Kiacrete pavement. Looking forward to day 2 & delivering a spotlight session talk tomorrow.

What a great 2024 throwback - five early-career engineers received the RAEng Engineers Trust Young Engineer of the Year award in July. The overall winner @AlaleaKia received the Sir George Macfarlane Medal for her work with @ReSusInfra: raeng.org.uk/programmes-and… #RAEngAwards

We had a fantastic end of the year celebration 🎄❄️☃️🍕🍝with our research groups this evening. Thank you all for your hard work this year and looking forward to 2025!

@mpr_nano Thank you for your kind words @mpr_nano

Fabulous - and you are in great company! #EngineeringRoleModels

I'm very happy to share that I have been nominated as an Engineering Role Model for #NationalEngineeringDay. It's exciting to be part of a community inspiring the future generation of engineers! Thanks to my nominators, it means a lot that you nominated me. #EngineeringRoleModels

We had a great day at the 10 yr @transportgovuk & @CPCatapult #TRIG showcase event in Birmingham. We demonstrated our #Kiacrete puddle-free pavement to @MikeKaneMP & @scsharples. It was exciting to see them testing Kiacrete! Thank you @ReSusInfra for your help & ongoing research

Action packed day at #HighwaysUK! Great to see many familiar faces and meet new people. Lots of great interactions and questions during my talk. It was such a privilege to be invited to give a talk at @HWYSUK and thank you for inviting me to talk again next year!

Great to be interviewed among prominent scientists & engineers🧑‍🔬👷this week @NakedScientists. Really enjoyed discussing the different ways engineers are tackling the climate crisis & how our @ReSusInfra puddle-free pavement research can play a part in addressing this challenge.

Five early-career engineers received the RAEng Engineers Trust Young Engineer of the Year award this year, with the overall winner @AlaleaKia receiving the Sir George Macfarlane Medal for her work with @ReSusInfra. Get to know her: raeng.org.uk/programmes-and… #RAEngAwards

We presented a poster & paper on our work with @OkMatar, @Petit_Group, @AndriusPatapas & @JsnStafford at the IOM3’s 43rd Cement & Concrete Science Conference at @QUBelfast. Alperen's presentation received significant interest & we look forward to presenting more in the future.

It was great to attend the 16th Int. Con. on Applied Energy in Niigata, Japan 🇯🇵 and share ideas with like minded researchers in this field. We presented two papers on our work. It was a fantastic experience immersing ourselves in Japanese culture 🎌🎎🍱🍣 for a couple of days.

Congratulations all 🏆 and to @AlaleaKia on winning the Sir George Macfarlane Medal & Young Engineer of the Year award 2024 for developing permeable pavement Kiacrete, to mitigate the devastating impact of urban flooding from stormwater @RAEngNews #water imperial.ac.uk/news/254698/ro…
