Here are 4 significant ways that Leonardo da Vinci changed the world
As well as being an exceptional painter, sculptor, and engineer, Leonardo da Vinci was an extraordinary thinker and innovator, well ahead of his time.
Dr Hywel Jones is an expert in engineering ceramics which can typically be found in body armour, replacement hip joints, bearings for space engines and oil & gas pumps etc. He is particularly interested in their use as body armour and as wear resistant parts.
He has founded a spin-out company, XeraCarb Ltd, to exploit MOD funded research on light-weight body armour.
