BORN on the 30th of July 1977, in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, Ian David Karslake Watkins moved to Pontypridd where he attended Hawthorn High School. There he met future Lostprophets bassist (and later guitarist) Mike Lewis. After completing a degree in Graphic Design, Ian and Lewis formed Aftermath, a thrash band, who only played twice in its two years together. Ian left Aftermath, then meeting Lee Gaze through a mutual friend. Through the pairs shared love of alternative music they created the American hardcore-inspired band Fleshbind. Although the band played dates with Feeder, the band was short-lived. Ian then re- united with old school friend Mike to form the hardcore band Public Disturbance. Formed in 1995, the band released two full-length releases before disbanding in 2000. Leaving Fleshbind and Public Disturbance behind, Lewis and Watkins formed Lostprophets, where for the first time Watkins was frontman. Ian Watkins’ success with Lostprophets started when they signed to Visible Noise Records in 1999 and released their debut ‘Thefakesoundofprogress’, which features fan favourite ‘Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja’. In 2004 the band released critically acclaimed second album ‘Start Something’, which reached number four in the UK album chart and has sold 2.5 million copies since its release. The band took a break and recorded the band’s number one album ‘Liberation Transmission’ in America. Released in July 2006, the album features the band’s most popular song to date - ‘Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast)’. The band began recording an album which they hoped to release in early 2007, but were unhappy with the results of their work with producer John Feldmann and scrapped an album’s worth of material. The band wrote and produced 2010’s long-awaited follow-up ‘The Betrayed’. Lostprophets’ current record, ‘Weapons’, their fifth studio album, was released on the 2nd of April 2012. Watkins isn’t just the singer of Lostprophets, he is also a designer and has a clothing line. In June 2008 he launched what he called “a wearable art project”, which he named Made in Hell Clothing. Ian draws all the artwork himself and solely owns the business. All the products in the range, which include T-shirts, necklaces and jackets, are all individually numbered, causing each item of clothing to be unique to the wearer, more like a piece of art than a T-shirt. Along with singer and designer, Ian can claim the title of DJ. In 2009 he formed mysterious and fun DJ group L’amour La Morgue. They have remixed songs from the Killers to Beyonce to Young Guns. These tracks can be found on the band EPs, which are free to download from the band’s Facebook page. The most famous remix to date has been their reworking of Bring Me The Horizon’s ‘It Was Written In Blood’. This was featured on BMTH’s ‘Suicide Season: Cut Up!’ The band continue to make music and have previously toured with the likes of 3OH!3. Ian’s burning passion for music is evident through Lostprophets’ longevity and their ferocious live performances, with his creativity also displayed by his art through his clothing line. With Lostprophets headlining the UK leg of the prestigious Vans Warped Tour and a tour in November, Ian and Lostprophets show no chance of slowing down. Here’s to the Welsh rock hero!

  • Racial Justice in Engineering the Road Ahead for Mckelvey Engineering
    mckelvey engineering Across Disciplines. Across the World® // spring 2021 Racial justice in Engineering The road ahead for McKelvey Engineering inside Neal Patwari 18 // Virtual becomes reality 22 // Libby Allman 26 From the dean // The Long Road Ahead I write this letter as we are wrapping up what will be remembered as the most unusual academic year in living memory. The COVID-19 pandemic, which last spring was a crisis requiring an immediate response to launch online learning, grew into an ever-present constraint that impacted teaching, research and all aspects of operations across the university. For the Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 semesters, McKelvey Engineering needed to embrace new paradigms of teaching and learning, to develop new modes of managing and sharing research spaces, and to conduct business operations almost exclusively through remote interactions. In the pages of this issue of Engineering Momentum, you will read about some of the efforts it took to rise to the occasion. Given the enormity of the task, one might expect responding to COVID-19 to be the cover story of this issue of the magazine. It is not. Instead, the summer of last year saw the emergence of an awareness of a challenge that has been with us for centuries and whose destructive power is not amenable to being controlled by a vaccine. While the most visible event of the summer was the video-captured death of George Floyd at the hands of police officers, there was a washu photo litany of such tragedies and travesties. These incidents energized a Black Lives Matter Aaron F.
