Dr. Lesley-Ann Noel
Our paths have crossed several times over the past couple of years, but I finally managed to sit down and chat with the one and only Dr. Lesley-Ann Noel. Along with being an author, design educator, and community builder, she is one of the editors behind The Black Experience in Design: Identity, Expression & Reflection, a compilation of essays from over 70 Black designers, artists, curators, educators, students, and researchers.
Our conversation began with some good news about a recent grand that she won, and from there we talked about her areas research and what she teaches. Dr. Noel spoke about growing up in Trinidad and Tobago and studying design in Brazil, including becoming a Fulbright Scholar and arriving at North Carolina State University. She also talked about motivation, ambition, and about the importance of finding your own community.
Take Dr. Noel’s advice — the world of design is a lot bigger than you think!

Rum & Sargassum with Dr. Legena Henry
What do you get when you mix rum with sargassum?
In the Caribbean you get an innovative climate solution.
Host Derval Barzey and Dr. Legena Henry discuss this Caribbean-based, low-carbon solution addressing the issue of sargassum blooms and the greening of the transportation sector. Dr. Henry is fostering innovation among undergraduate students at University of the West Indies, Cave Hill in the area of Renewable Energy. Their research has led to the development of a biofuel utilising the overgrowth of sargassum and waste water from rum distilleries in Barbados.
Dr. Legena Henry, PhD, is an MIT graduate, and a Mechanical Engineer, who is now the Lecturer for Renewable Energy at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, specializing in Renewable Energy and Applied Mechanics. She researches sustainable energy sources in the Caribbean, such as bio-fuel from Sargassum seaweed, Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion, and wave energy. Her most recently published paper, "Wiener Chaos Expansions of Ocean Waves," was started while she was based at the Center for Ocean Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she received her Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering.
