Roma Agrawal is a structural engineer who builds big. From
footbridges and sculptures, to train stations and skyscrapers –
including The Shard – she has left an indelible mark on London’s
landscape.
She is a tireless promoter of engineering and technical careers to
young people, particularly under-represented groups such as women. She
has advised policymakers and governments on science education, and has
given talks to thousands around the world at universities, schools and
organisations, including two for TEDx. She is a television presenter,
and writes articles about engineering, education and leadership.
Roma has been awarded international awards for her technical prowess
and success in promoting the profession, including the prestigious Royal
Academy of Engineering’s Rooke Award. Her first book, Built: The Hidden Stories behind our Structures, was published by Bloomsbury in 2018, and her children's book, How Was That Built?, was published in 2021 also by Bloomsbury.
Roma's latest book, Nuts and Bolts: Seven Small Inventions That Changed the World in a Big Way, was published in 2023 by Hodder & Stoughton.
