New CDT administrator: Kelyn Luther
As of 1 October 2018 we have the pleasure to be supported by the new full-time CDT administrator Kelyn Luther. Kelyn brings with her excessive administrative experience and knowledge of the University’s systems due to her former roles in the Peopel Development and Staff Life teams, respectively. Please provide a friendly welcome to Kelyn. We […]
Poster Prize Winners: Carlota Ruiz De Galarreta and Joseph Beadle
4th year XM² PGRs Carlota Ruiz de Galarreta and Joseph Beadle won the poster prizes at two different conferences: Carlota attended the European Phase-Change and Ovonic Symposium (E\PCOS 2018) which brings together the phase change community together to discuss the latest technology achievements and their possible new application areas (figure 1); Joseph won the […]
New Publication: The acoustic phase resonances and surface waves supported by a compound rigid grating
Congratulations to Joseph Beadle, 4th year PGR in the EPSRC CDT in Metamaterials, for his latest publication on ‘The acoustic phase resonances and surface waves supported by a compound rigid grating‘, published in Nature’s Scientific Reports. Abstract We study the radiative and bound acoustic modes supported by a rigid grating formed of three same-depth, narrow […]
XM2 PGR away day
Building community is one of the main challenges in any bigger entity. Where many work under a shared framework there’s a lot of potential to exploit. However, getting building bridges and communication channels isn’t always easy, in particular when areas of expertise aren’t closely related in the first instance. The CDT in Metamaterials is no […]
XM2 thesis submitted by Tom Graham: Underwater Acoustic Waves on Structured and Unstructured Plates
Very many congratulations to the EPSRC CDT in Metamaterials PGR Tom Graham who recently submitted his PhD thesis titled “Underwater Acoustic Waves on Structured and Unstructured Plates”. Tom was supervised by Professor Roy Sambles (FRS), Professor Alastair Hibbins and Dr Simon Horsley. He worked closely with Thales and undertook several research visits to Templecombe and […]
Welcome to our 23 new PGRs!
The CDT in Metamaterials sends a warm welcome to our 23 new PGRs. It was a real pleasure to see so many new faces and fresh energy arriving at the start of our induction week on 17 September 2018. We hope they will soon feel at home at Exeter and in their roles as postgraduate […]
E-MRS 2018 – XM2 members present their work at the European Materials Research Society conference in Warsaw
The XM² PGRs Ned Taylor, Francis Davies and Shane Davies are presenting their work at at the Fall European Material Research conference (E-MRS) in Warsaw, Poland with over 4000 attendees. Founded in 1983, the European Materials Research Society now has more than 4,000 members from industry, government, academia and research laboratories, who meet regularly to debate […]
SPIE in San Diego – XM2 PGRs present Exeter’s SPIE chapter activities
In September 2018, the XM² PGRs Erick Burgos Parra and Joaquin Faneca went to one of the most important events for optical engineering and applications, nanotechnology, quantum science, and organic photonics: SPIE OPTICS+ PHOTONICS (San Diego). They represented our EUOPS (Exeter University optics and photonics society) and the SPIE student chapter. Erick Burgos Parra was […]
