In March, Haoyu secured £10,000 in funding from the EPSRC Impact Acceleration Account (IAA). The IAA aims to bridge the gap between discovery science and the end users of new products, processes, services, and policies. It supports researchers at all levels in engaging with the public, private, and voluntary charity and social enterprise (VCSE) sectors.

The funding facilitates activities at various stages, from initial contact with companies or policymakers to full commercialisation or policy implementation. It enables research to be effectively communicated, translated, and accelerated for real-world impact.

With this funding, Haoyu will conduct research on floor vibration.
