Ian Craddock. Ian Craddock graduated with a 1st class BEng in Electronic and Communications Engineering from the University of Bristol in 1992, followed by a PhD in electromagnetics in 1995.

Appointed to a lectureship at Bristol his early career comprised modelling microwave antenna structures before taking on leadership of a research project to design a radar device for humanitarian demining, inspired by multistatic radar focussing principles first developed by Professor Ralph Benjamin. The culmination of several years as principal investigator of this project was a working prototype radar which was trialled at outdoor test sites in the UK and Italy. 

Approached by Professor Alan Preece, then Head of Medical Physics at the Bristol Royal Infirmary, they began to explore whether similar methods could be used to detect tumours in breast tissue. Ian Craddock led the University team, which included Professor Ralph Benjamin, to first model and then build successive prototypes of a radar-based breast imaging system. Ian was principal investigator of two EPSRC grants on this topic (grant references EP/G003084/1 and EP/J00717X/1 ) and was a winner of the IEE (now IET) J. A. Lodge prize for "outstanding work in Medical Electronics". In 2005 Ian, Alan and Roy Johnson spun Micrima Ltd out of the University, in order to bring a clinical breast cancer diagnostic device to market - Micrima took the device "MARIA" (named after Ian's wife) through regulatory approval and on to market.

In 2013 Ian was PI of the £11.8M EPSRC-funded SPHERE project (grant EP/K031910/1) and in 2018 became Director of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Digital Health and Care (training grant EP/S023704/1), both in Bristol. 

He is a Chartered Engineer, Fellow of the IET, Fellow of the Alan Turing Institute and named Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2016 for leadership in imaging for healthcare applications.

Ermal C. Fraze. Ermal Cleon "Ernie" Fraze (September 16, 1913 – October 26, 1989) was an American engineer who invented the pull-tab opener used in beverage cans.

Early life 
Fraze was born on a farm near Muncie, Indiana, but later moved to Dayton, Ohio, where he assembled novelties for Cracker Jack boxes.

Career 
He started his career in Ohio as a machine tool operator in the 1940s. Using a loan from his wife, Martha, he established the Dayton Reliable Tool & Manufacturing Company, his own machine tool business in 1949. The company produced tools such as improved gun barrels for war planes, including the NASA, General Electric, and Ford. Fraze patented many of his innovations later graduated from Kettering University.

In 1959, while at a picnic with friends and family, Fraze discovered he had left his "church key" can opener at home, forcing him to use a car bumper to open cans of beer. Fraze decided to create an improved beverage opening method that would eliminate the need for a separate device, leading to his creation of the pull-tab opener.

His first design included a lever that pierced a hole in the top of the can, but this caused a safety hazard as it produced sharp edges that could cut the user's finger. Later that year, he established a mechanism known as the "pull-tab" can, with its users simply being required to pull a removable tab to open the drink.

He received U.S. patent No. 3,349,949 for the invention in 1963, and subsequently sold it to Alcoa. By 1965, around 75% of U.S. breweries were using them, but in the mid-1970s, pressure from environmentalists due to litter led to the development of the non-removable tabs used today. By 1980, his company was supplying can-end machinery worldwide making over $500 million in annual revenue.

Death 
Fraze died in 1989 in Kettering, Ohio from a brain tumor, leaving an estate worth $41 million. Soon after his death, the family sold the Dayton Reliable Tool Company to business managers, but the business remained in Dayton. In 1992, the Fraze family fired the business managers over an unauthorised attempt to sell the company, and took over the running of the company. The Fraze Pavilion, a 4,300-seat amphitheater in Kettering, was named in his honor.

Ervin Sejdic. Ervin Sejdic is North York General Hospital's Research Chair in Artificial Intelligence for Health Outcomes.  He focuses on biomedical signal processing, gait analysis, swallowing difficulties, advanced information systems in medicine, rehabilitation engineering, assistive technologies and anticipatory medical devices. He was previously a researcher at the Swanson School of Engineering, University of Pittsburgh, where he directs a research laboratory focused on engineering developments in medicine. His research has focused on creating computational biomarkers indicative of age- and disease-related changes in functional outcomes such as swallowing, gait and handwriting. In particular, he aims to develop clinically relevant solutions by fostering innovation in mechatronic systems (computational data-centric approaches and instrumentation) that can be translated to bedside care. Due to his contributions in signal processing and biomedical engineering, Sejdic has been named to editorial positions of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, BioMedical Engineering Online and IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering.

Education 
Sejdic has received his Bachelor of Engineering Science in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Western Ontario in 2002. He continued to a graduate program in electrical and computer engineering at the same university while being advised by Professor Jin Jiang, where Sejdic obtained his PhD in electrical and computer engineering in January 2008. Next, Sejdic joined Dr. Tom Chau's group at the University of Toronto and Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, where he was a postdoctoral fellow specializing in pediatric rehabilitation engineering and biomedical instrumentation. In 2011, Sejdic joined Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center as a research fellow in medicine, where he specialized in geriatrics (cardiovascular and cerebrovascular monitoring of older diabetic adults)

Research 
Sejdic's early research revolved around signal processing, specifically the area of time–frequency analysis. In more recent years, he has focused on modeling of human functions such as swallowing and gait. Sejdic has also made contributions in computational medicine, implantable medical devices, and biomedical engineering, including a novel brain-machine interface modality based on transcranial Doppler sonography
