Dear Colleagues,

As Editor-in-Chief of Actuators, I am pleased to announce the winner of the 2018 Travel Award sponsored by Actuators:

The Evaluation Committee were very impressed with the high level of work presented. After careful consideration, the Travel Award has been granted to Dr. Amin Noshadi, a postdoctoral research fellow of the College of Engineering and Science, Victoria University.

We would also like to deliver our great thanks to the Evaluation Committee members, Prof. Dr. Dong-il (Dan) Cho, Richard Yong Qing Fu and Jose Luis Sanchez-Rojas, for their comprehensive evaluation of candidates.

Sincerely,
Delbert Tesar
