Dr Hasan Caglar AWeldI Interim CEng has been announced as this year’s winner of the Richard Dolby - Rolls Royce Award.

The Richard Dolby - Rolls Royce Award is presented biennially by The Welding Institute’s Young Members’ Committee. A cash prize of £1,000 is awarded to any young Member (under 35 years of age) that can show success and enthusiasm for welding, joining and/or materials engineering at an early stage in their career.

A panel of judges from Rolls Royce (Professor Gary Jones), TWI (Dr Paul Woollin), the Younger Members’ Committee (Matt Haslett), and Richard Dolby himself assessed the finalists for the award on 3 July 2024.

Hasan has a BSc from Ozyegin University in Istanbul, an MSc from Koc University in Istanbul, and a PhD from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. He was previously employed as a Project Leader at TWI Cambridge and is currently working at Cranfield University as a Research Fellow.
