The Plymouth Student Scientist

Introduction

Table of contents

These incredible research and development articles in this edition are from STEM students at the University of Plymouth, working on their final year research project over the period 2022 and 2023. A huge thank you to them, and their committed supervisors. I have enjoyed reading your submissions and working with you all. With kind regards, Dr Jason B. Truscott (Chief Editor).
