‘Research Images as Art / Art Images as Research’

Cross-Disciplinary Competition 2022

The Doctoral School would like to thank everyone for entering our competition.

This year we had 180 images entered. From this poll, the judges selected 100 images (which will feature in an online gallery in due course). The overall winners have been chosen from a very short list of the top 40 images. As always, we had an extraordinary range of beautiful and interesting images.

Many congratulations to the winners!

This is the third year the competition has been organised entirely online. We plan to hold the next Research as Art competition in the new academic year either online or in person and we are looking forward to seeing more great images from our entrants.

Alice’s winning photo for this year’s research image competition is a unanimous choice of the judging panel. The photo expresses the music making in by the Bakaya in an active and expressive manner. It led at least one of the judges to search Youtube for avideo.

It’s easy to forget how artistic and creative engineering is and this competition is a great reminder of this. So I would like to give gratitude to the UCL doctoral school and my group.
