Share

Following the inaugural AXREM UKIO Virtual Awards event hosted by Bill Turnbull, journalist, and television presenter back in June, Sally Edgington, AXREM Director was pleased this week to be able to present Dr Ejay Nsugbe, Founder/Chief Engineer at Nsugbe Research Labs with his award.

The Young Person Award is to recognise the rising stars in our sector, aimed at young people working in a clinical environment who have shown exceptional talent, initiative, and competence in their work. This may be someone newly qualified and has recently started their first role or someone who is still within their first few years of qualifying who has shown exception and performed above the required standard.

When presenting this award during the virtual event Bill Turnbull explained that Ejay won the award for his creative thinking, innovation, and leadership during the application of medical physics and instrumentation alongside signal Processing methods in a research capacity within Obstetric and Rehabilitation Medicine. This work is highly multidisciplinary and therefore hinges upon cross-disciplinary interactions between himself and interfacing partners. From the immediate evidence, he has been able to cross these multidisciplinary collaborative hurdles by fostering relationships and ‘buy-in’ from experts from other disciplines. This typically requires clarity in communication and the ability to disseminate dense technical information to non-experts from different fields while being persuasive and convincing enough to ultimately achieve collaboration.

Upon being presented with the award Dr Ejay Nsugbe said “I continue to be super stoked and elated to have been selected as the AXREM Young Person of the year, the prestigious award serves as a welcome source of recognition of the hard work which myself and group have carried out over the past few months and will undoubtedly allow for the attracting of subsequent research funding within my specialism in the near future“.

AXREM Director, Sally Edgington said “Recognising young people near the start of their career is crucial as they will be the champions of the future. Dr Ejay’s research and others work this like this is crucial in making medical breakthroughs to enhance treatment and care to patients and that is something I personally support as do AXREM”.
