Her work concerns what happens at surfaces and the interfaces between them. She has particular expertise in corrosion, tribology (or 'wear and tear') and fouling. Over the past five years Professor Neville has been looking to Nature and biological systems to solve engineering problems - something often referred to as 'biomimetics' or 'bioinspiration'. The Royal Academy of Engineering is one of the most prestigious engineering academies in the world. Professor Neville joins some of the country's most eminent engineers who make up the Academy's fellowship, including Lord Alex Broers and Professor Dame Julia Higgins. Professor Anne Neville said: "This is a great honour for me and one that has only been possible because of the work of my research team (past and present) over the last 15 years.
