James Roberts has been presented with the Princess Royal Silver Medal, one of the Royal Academy of Engineering’s most prestigious individual awards.

He is the inventor of a new neonatal incubator designed, developed and manufactured in Britain that has helped babies thrive in NHS hospitals and across war-torn Ukraine.

The mOm incubator was developed with funding from Innovate UK and has featured in the UK media covering the conflict.

Roberts was presented with the award at the Academy Awards Dinner in London on Thursday 13 July by Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal, who is a Royal Fellow of the Academy.

The Princess Royal Silver Medal celebrates an outstanding personal contribution made to UK engineering by an early to mid-career engineer resulting in market exploitation.
