Ahead of this year’s Present Around the World regional final on Thursday 17th November we have caught up with last year’s winner Stewart McAllister.
Last year, Stewart won the Present Around the World Northern Ireland regional competition, with his presentation on the subject of Resonant Inductive Coupling – the wireless transfer of power. Stewart’s clear explanation of the matter and an inspiring look towards the future of the technology earned him the winner’s prize.
In June, Stewart represented the Northern Ireland local network at the Northern Regional UK final in Liverpool and was runner-up, just missing out on the chance to participate in the UK finals.
Following from his experiences, later that month, Stewart went on to win the energy sector of the UK Daily Telegraph STEM Awards. His team were one of 5 finalists for the overall prize. The Telegraph made a video on each finalist entry, you can watch his video here: https://youtu.be/4YJ9WaIp0I8
Stewart is now in his final year of study in Queen’s University, studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering, having completed a placement year with Energia Renewables.
This year’s competition will take place on Thursday 17th November in the Ashby Building, Stranmillis Road, Queen’s University, Belfast at 6pm. Members and non-members are all welcome to listen to this year’s presenters.
