John has secured more than £11million in research funding – he was the first person in the UK to receive an EPSRC Early Career Fellowship in Structural Engineering, won an EPSRC Bright Ideas award, and led the EPSRC Energy Feasibility Study “MEICON” which examined the culture of design in structural engineering as it relates to embodied and whole life carbon.

Will Arnold Head of Climate Action at the IStructE (UK)

Will leads the Institution’s response to the climate emergency, bringing this action into all aspects of our work including the publication of best-practice emergency guidance. Prior to his current role, he was a practising structural engineer at Arup for over ten years, where he was responsible for key aspects of ambitious architectural projects across the world from the UK to Taiwan and Rwanda. Will is Chair of the CIC’s 2050 Group, and helps lead the Institution’s Climate Emergency Task Group. In 2017, he was presented with the Institution’s Young Structural Engineering Professional Award for his design work whilst at Arup.
