Professor Peter Vukusic and Dr Alastair Hibbins talk about how physics explains everything; Dr Barrie Cooper tells how his interests in a variety of areas lead to a desire to understand more about mathematics and Professor Chris Smith explains that engineering is about solving problems and making the world a better place.
