Since 1994, the Academy's Silver Medals have recognised exceptional personal contributions from early- to mid-career engineers who have advanced the cause of engineering in the UK and achieved significant commercial success.
The 2015 Silver Medallists are: Dr Susannah Clarke - co-founder of Embody Orthopaedics, and pioneer of new medical techniques using 3D printing, Dr Andy Ward - founder and chief technology officer at UbiSense, developing intelligent location solutions for smart factories, and Dr Don Syme - principal researcher at Microsoft Research, Cambridge, and creator of the F# computer programming language
Professor Dame Ann Dowling DBE FREng FRS, president of the Royal Academy of Engineering, said: "The winners are true leaders in their respective fields, having all succeeded in turning their cutting edge research into commercial success stories. It is this critical market exploitation that enables society and the economy to benefit from the world-leading innovation coming out of UK research and development."
The three medallists will receive their awards at the Academy's Awards Dinner in London on 16 July.
