Since moving into academia from industry, Deputy Vice-Chancellor @KarenHolford CBE FREng has helped to build the international reputation of acoustic emission research at #CardiffUni, with research resulting in improved safety monitoring of bridges and other structures.
Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research, Innovation & Enterprise @profkimgraham’s research focuses on understanding how distinct 
circuits underpin different memory systems, and how damage to these networks influences risk and resilience to dementia across the lifespan.
