Welcome to the XM2 summer students
Curious? Ambitious? Energetic? All good qualities to find in a summer student! We welcome the undergraduates Andy Wild (“Asymmetric Double Square Well on a Circle: The Curious Case of Degenerate States“), Jordan Meadows (“Dirac metamaterials—the quest for new quasiparticles”, and future XM² PGR Conor Price (“2D material liquid crystals“) to work on CDT summer projects […]
Jess Brown @ BBC University Challenge
Our very own XM² PGR Jessica Brown is participating in this year’s BBC University Challenge. She is representing the University of Exeter alongside Danny Lay (captain – Physics), Will Klintworth (History and IR) , and Simon Waitland (Natural Sciences). “It’s been my childhood dream for as long as I can remember!” The popular academic quiz is […]

Dr Ruth Voisey among the top 50 Women in Engineering 2018
Congratulations to our Oversight Board member Dr Ruth Voisey (Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Dyson), who was announced as one of the top 50 Women in Engineering (WE50) by the Sunday Telegraph on 24 June 2018. The WE50 campaign aims to raise awareness of the skills shortage facing the industry and the huge discrepancy between the […]
XM2 thesis submitted by Sathya Seetharaman: Electromagnetic interactions in one-dimensional metamaterials
Sathya Sai Seetharaman is the third XM² PGR to submit his PhD thesis, which is titled “Electromagnetic interactions in one-dimensional metamaterials” (abstract below). He was supervised by Prof Bill Barnes and Dr Ian Hooper and has previously published his work on Electromagnetic interactions in a pair of coupled split-ring resonators in Physical Review B. “The […]
Honorary Senior Lectureship for Dr Celia Butler (Synopsys (Simpleware Product Group))
Very many congratulations to Dr Celia Butler who was recently appointed as Honorary Senior Lecture at the University of Exeter (Physics & Astronomy). Celia graduated with a PhD in Physics from the University of Exeter in 2012 following her succesful work on “Microwave Response of Square Mesh Metamaterials” (EPSRC iCase co-funded by QinetiQ). Prior to her […]
Beyond a PhD – special panel edition as part of the 6th IEEE International Conference on Microwave Magnetics (ICMM2018) at Exeter
From Sunday June 24th until Wednesday June 27th Exeter had the pleasure to host the sixth IEEE International Conference on Microwave Magnetics (ICMM2018), following on the success of Fort Collins (USA, 2008), Boston (USA, 2010), Kaiserslautern (Germany, 2012), Sendai (Japan, 2014), and Tuscaloosa (USA, 2016).

Leaving-Do for our 4th years
Who would have thought 4 years could go by in what feels like a split second. It seems as if it was only yesterday that the first CDT in Metamaterials’ cohort embarked on our programme, but 4 eventful years have passed and we will soon see all of them move on to new endeavours. Therefore, […]
