Timeline

1956

Dame Sarah Marcella Springman (born 26 December 1956) is a British-Swiss triathlete, civil engineer, and academic.

She was educated in England and spent much of her career in Switzerland.

She is a former rector of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and currently Principal of St Hilda's College at the University of Oxford.

Born in London in 1956, Springman was educated at Wycombe Abbey, where she was later a governor from 1993 to 1996.

1975

She studied engineering sciences at Cambridge University (Bachelor level) from 1975 to 1978 and returned for a MPhil in soil mechanics in 1983.

1979

From 1979 to 1983, she worked as an engineer on geotechnical projects in England, Australia, and Fiji (primarily on the Monasavu Dam in Viti Levu), before she became a chartered engineer and Member of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1983.

She is married to Rosie Mayglothling.

1983

In addition to being a civil engineer, she represented Great Britain at the elite level in triathlon from 1983 to 1993, competing in the 1990 Commonwealth Games Triathlon in Auckland, New Zealand, and winning twenty elite European Triathlon Union (ETU) Championship medals in triathlon and duathlon.

1984

She carried on her doctoral research in soil-structure interaction, earning her doctorate between 1984 and 1989.

1985

Springman was a doctoral student in the Soil Mechanics Group at Cambridge University, and was supervised initially by Mark F. Randolph, until he moved to the University of Western Australia in 1985, who was succeeded by Malcolm Bolton.

1990

She was the first female research fellow at Magdalene College, Cambridge, before becoming a university lecturer in 1990.

1992

She served as Vice-President of the International Triathlon Union (ITU) from 1992 to 1996, during which time, she played an important role in getting triathlon into the Olympics and establishing it as a recognised sport for the Commonwealth Games.

1994

She started rowing in 1994 as part of a Women's Rowing Development Project, sponsored by the ARA (now British Rowing), which was based at Thames Tradesmen Rowing Club, coached by Doug Parnham.

Subsequently, she has won medals at the British Rowing Championships for Rob Roy BC in the single and quad sculls and in the Swiss National Rowing Championships for Belvoir RC (Zurich) in the single, quad sculls and women's eight and in European and World Masters Championships in various boat classes.

1997

She has been professor of geotechnical engineering at ETH Zürich since 1997, and was the Deputy Head of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering from 2013 to 2014.

Springman was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1997, Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2012 and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the 2022 New Year Honours for services to engineering and international sports administration.

She holds honorary doctorates from the Universities of Bath, Berne, Sheffield, and Wollongong, Australia, and is an Honorary Fellow of all three of her Cambridge Colleges.

1999

Supported by various funds to introduce computer aided learning at ETH Zurich, she worked with Les Davison from the University of Western England to improve opportunities for teaching and learning of soil mechanics through the Computer Aided Learning in Civil Engineering (CALICE) project (1999-2006), which was shortlisted for a Medida Prix award in 2002.

2000

She is a 3-time winner of the Masters CRASH-B World Indoor Rowing sprints over 2000m, and holds World and British indoor rowing records in the 60-69 age group.

2005

CALICE was redesigned and extended to become the GeoTechnical Information Platform (GeoTIP) (2005-2020).

The emphasis of Springman's research is on geotechnical modelling of soil structure interaction problems, including design and construction of abutments, pile foundations, reinforced soil, and ground improvement of soft and sensitive soils (e.g. sand compaction piles, dynamic compaction).

Springman combines physical modelling in a geotechnical centrifuge with numerical modelling so that the data may be used to develop, calibrate or validate new design methods.

At ETH Zürich, her group uses a 2.2 m drum geotechnical centrifuge to carry out practical studies on a range of geotechnical problems.

Springman is an advocate for access for women to STEM / MINT studies and engages in many events and campaigns to support this.

In March 2021, it was announced that Springman would be the next Principal of St Hilda's College, Oxford, in succession to Sir Gordon Duff.

She took up the position on 1 February 2022.

In June 2022, she gave a farewell lecture at the ETH in Zurich.

2012

She stepped down as President of British Triathlon on 31 December 2012 after celebrating Team GB's first triathlon medals won at an Olympic Games.

2013

She was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Sunday Times and Sky Sports Sportswomen of the Year Awards in London in 2013.

She is a member of the International Olympic Committee's Sustainability and Legacy Commission.
