Ipsita Roy. Ipsita Roy is a British-Indian materials scientist who is a professor at the University of Sheffield. Her research considers natural polymers of bacterial origin for medical applications. She was elected to the New York Academy of Sciences in 1997 and serves as the Editor of the Journal of Chemical Technology & Biotechnology.

Early life and education 
Roy was an undergraduate student Delhi University. She was awarded a Inlaks Scholarship and the Overseas Research Students Award to complete her doctoral research at the University of Cambridge. Whilst at Cambridge, she was awarded the Churchill College Fellowship and the University of Cambridge Philosophical Society Fellowship. Roy was a postdoctoral student at the University of Minnesota, where she worked in fatty acid synthesis.

Research and career 
Roy started her independent career at the Indian Institutes of Technology in 1996, where she started to explore biodegradable polymers, which she formed from Streptomyces. After four years as an assistant professor at the IIT, Roy moved to the United Kingdom, where she joined the University of Westminster. She led the Applied Biotechnology Research Group in the School of Life Sciences. Roy moved to the University of Sheffield in 2019, where she is Professor of Biomaterials.

Roy investigates polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), biocompatible, biodegradable polymers that are produced by bacteria. She has shown it is possible to form PHAs from Gram-positive bacteria which do not degrade into acidic products like polylactic acid or PLGA. At the same time, PHAs do not degrade in the bulk but on the surface, making them more stable than other biopolymers. Such polymers exist at two different molecular weights, which have very different materials properties; with short-chains being brittle and mid length chains being elastomeric. In regenerative medicine, PHAs with precise molecular weights can be used for different tissue types. This makes PHAs useful for medical applications such as tissue engineering and wound healing.

Roy has worked alongside Sian Harding, Carolyn Carr and Molly Stevens at Imperial College London on the design of cardiac patches based on PHAs as platforms for cell engraftment and the controlled delivery of pharmaceuticals using PHA microspheres.

Cycle time (software). In software engineering, cycle time is a software metric which estimates development speed in (agile) software projects. The cycle time measures how long it takes to process a given job - whether it's a client request, an order,  or a defined production process stage. The crucial aspect of measuring the cycle time is considering only the active, operating processing time and discarding any idle, waiting, or service times occurring mid-process.

According to the PMBOK (7th edition) by the Project Management Institute (PMI), cycle time is the "total elapsed time from the start of a particular activity or work item to its completion."

In contrast to lead time, which measures the time that the customer waits for their request to be realized, cycle time only counts the time the team spends actively working on the request. The core use of cycle times is to identify the average development times for specific teams or given request types. This lets the software engineering manager predict team engagements and better schedule work.
