We are recruiting to PhD projects!
Exciting times! Thanks to our industrial partners and the commitment from our College we can now offer fully funded PhD studentships for start in September 2019. The studentships will be aligned to our CDT in Metamaterials, hence benefitting from enhanced technical and transferable skills training and exposure to a variety of companies. Spread the news […]
The CDT’s UG summer student scheme – a huge success for UGs, PhD students and semiconductor research
Our CDT PGR Tom Collier, now in his final year, sucessfully bid for a CDT summer student bursary in early 2018. The “learning by doing” scheme provided an opportunity for all third years to hone their grant writing scheme and take a chance on one of three bursaries that would cover a small stipend and […]
New Publication: A Luneburg lens for spin waves
Congratulations to XM² PGR Natalie Whitehead for her publication on “A Luneburg lens for spin waves“: https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5049470 (Applied Physics Letters 113). In this article, the researchers report on the theory of a Luneburg lens for forward-volume magnetostatic spin waves and verify its operation via micromagnetic modelling. The lens converts a plane wave to a point […]

Riddle time!
An easy one to go with the Christmas celebrations and to kill the digestive time under the festively decorated needle tree: What’s the x standing for? The answer to last month’s riddle: who killed the scientist? Gabi and Felice, obviously, if you know your periodic table of elements: 31 => (Ga)llium; 83 => (Bi)smuth; 26 => (Fe)rrum; […]

XM2 graduation 2018 – a day to be proud
Very many congratulations to our XM² graduates in the 2018 winter ceremony. They joined our first two graduates from summer 2018 (Alba Paniagua Diaz and Tanveer Tabish) in the ranks of XM² PGRs who successfully completed their PhD. A few more from our 2014 cohort are due to graduate in summer 2019; they have completed […]
UK Terahertz research – Exeter’s successful research representation at a workshop in Warwick
3rd year XM² PGR Ros Herapath went to the UK THz Workshop in Warwick to present her work on the Impact of pump wavelength on terahertz emission of a cavity-enhanced spintronic trilayer. She was accompanied by postdocs Peter Karlsen and XM² alumni Lauren Barr who is now working as a postdoc at the Univeristy of […]
