Metabuddies: PGR outreach activity with Queen Elizabeth’s School Crediton
In spring 2018 Francis Davies, Elizabeth Martin, and Ned Taylor visited Queen Elizabeth’s School, Crediton as part of the CDT’s Metabuddies program to run physics sessions related to metamaterials with a group of year 12 physics students. They led a few different sessions over the course of March, in which they talked about their research […]
Viva successfully completed!
Very many congratulations to Alba Paniagua Diaz who successfully defended her PhD on Monday 10 April 2018. Her thesis title is “Light in scattering media: active control and the exploration of intensity correlations” and she was examined by Christian Soeller (College for Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences; Univeristy of Exeter) and Tomas Cizmar (School of […]

New Publication: Influence of luminescent graphene quantum dots on trypsin activity
Tanveer Tabish‘s paper Influence of luminescent graphene quantum dots on trypsin activity has been published in the International Journal of Nanomedicine: Background: Protein–graphene interactions have the potential to play a pivotal role in the future directions of nanomedicine. These interactions lead to diverse processes such as generation of protein coronas, nano–bio interfaces, particle wrapping, and biocatalytic […]
