It provides new understanding of solute-driven solidification grain-structure evolution; his solidification simulation videos have over 60\,000 views in YouTube\, and have been used in undergraduate teaching at universities. This underpinning work laid down the concepts of subsequent work on multi-scale\, multi-physics modelling of casting and welding\, provides novel insight into key solidification phenomena at different length scales and more importantly allows industry to design and optimise casting and welding processes to give better performance and reduced costs. \nHis work has been exploited in various sectors\, including in aerospace by Rolls-Royce\, energy by the Welding Institute and steel by NISCO and NISCO and the Materials Processing Institute. He has played a key role in establishing international partnerships between the UK and China\, India and South Africa. \nHow to Participate\nPlease join the panel discussion remotely using the following Zoom meeting information: \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/85385174702?pwd=vRSph4nec1iB0AJrhkH0MrcycyDXVP.1 \nMeeting ID: 853 8517 4702\nPasscode: 960820 \n— \nOne tap mobile\n+442080806592\,\,85385174702#\,\,\,\,*960820# United Kingdom\n+443300885830\,\,85385174702#\,\,\,\,*960820# United Kingdom \n— \nDial by your location\n• +44 208 080 6592 United Kingdom\n• +44 330 088 5830 United Kingdom\n• +44 131 460 1196 United Kingdom\n• +44 203 481 5237 United Kingdom\n• +44 203 481 5240 United Kingdom\n• +44 203 901 7895 United Kingdom\n• +44 208 080 6591 United Kingdom \nMeeting ID: 853 8517 4702\nPasscode: 960820 \nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kciZAe6iQZ \nRegistration Form\nIf you are interested in attending the event\, please fill in the following form by 8th January Monday 9am.

SUMMARY:ABCP Webinar: Constant juggling? An interactive and research-informed webinar on managing work-life boundaries for academics
DESCRIPTION:Title\nConstant juggling? An interactive and research-informed webinar on managing work-life boundaries for academics \nSpeaker\nDr Mengyi Xu (徐梦艺博士)\, Assistant Professor in Human Resource Management\, University of Birmingham\, UK \nChair\nProfessor Lynda Jiwen Song (宋继文教授)\, Professor in Management\, Leeds University\, UK \nLanguage\nThe talk will be delivered in English. \nAbstract\nThis webinar aims to share academics’ experiences of managing their work-life boundaries from recent research and lived experience\, and collectively explore individual strategies and tactics for work-life boundary management and managerial implications of hybrid working in the Higher Education (HE) sector. COVID-19 has accelerated existing trends towards the greater digitalisation and virtualisation of how the HE institutions are operated\, and the knowledge work is done. Hybrid working\, comprising a mixture of office-based and remote working\, is now a firmly established option for many employers. While it is understood that the resulting blurring of work and home domains poses threats to staff wellbeing\, health and longer-term productivity\, the problem has consistently been framed as individual responsibility with the result that less attention has been paid to what employers can and should also do to support staff. \nWe will start by sharing some recent research and lived experiences on the work-life boundary experiences of academics during and after the pandemic. Then participants will be instructed to take an assessment designed to identify their boundary style and its pros and cons. Participants will then be allocated to a breakout room to share and use the results of this assessment to develop strategies and tactics for effective work-life boundary management. The webinar will end with a debrief from the discussions where participants will share the good practices and techniques of effective work-life boundary management\, and critically reflect upon the importance of work-life boundary control for improving productivity and well-being. \nIntended participants and admission criteria for the participants\nAll ABCP members and friends. \nIf you are interested in understanding work-life boundaries ahead of the webinar\, you can read through the following article and do the work-life boundary style assessment and have their results handy. \nKossek\, E.
