I'm an award-winning engineer, author and broadcaster and am best known for working on the design of The Shard, Western Europe's tallest tower. I studied at Imperial College London and have an MA in Physics from the University of Oxford. My first book, BUILT (Bloomsbury, 2018) won an AAAS science book award and has been translated into eight languages. The children's version, How Was That Built? (Bloomsbury, 2021) will be published soon. I'm currently writing another book called Nuts and Bolts: Seven Small Inventions that Changed the World (In a Big Way) (Hodder & Stoughton, 2023) where I will explore the seven building-blocks of engineering that have come to underpin our lives: the nail, spring, wheel, lens, magnet, string and pump. I've had the absolute pleasure of presenting television shows for the BBC, Channel 4 and Discovery, and I host own podcast, Building Stories. I'm particularly passionate about promoting engineering and technical careers to young people, particularly under-represented groups such as women and people of colour. In 2017 I won the prestigious Royal Academy of Engineering's Rooke Award, and in 2018 was appointed an MBE for my services to engineering. www.RomaTheEngineer.com @RomaTheEngineer www.BuildingStoriesPodcast.com
