Graduation Celebration Winter 2023
Congratulations to our 2023 Winter graduates who had their ceremony last month! We held post-graduation celebrations in the Physics Senior Common Room, attended by graduates, their guests, fellow PGRs and their supervisors to reflect on their time as PGRs. They go on to a variety of positions with some staying in Exeter and others […]
CMRI attend OFEME Symposium 2023
On 20th-21st November, CMRI postdoctoral research fellow Dr James Capers and PGR Kyle Arnold attended the Defence and Science Technology Laboratory’s (DSTL’s) 4th ‘Operating in the Future Electromagnetic Environment (OFEME)’ Symposium 2023. This event brought together academics, DSTL researchers, suppliers and representatives from government departments such as the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to consider the […]
New publication: Manipulating the quasi–normal modes of radially symmetric resonators
Congratulations to CMRI postdoctoral researcher James Capers on his latest paper ‘Manipulating the quasi–normal modes of radially symmetric resonators‘ which has been published in Optics Express. In this work, co-authored by CMRI PhD alumni Dr Dean Patient and assistant professor Dr Simon Horsley, James and colleagues derive methods for controlling the resonant frequency, linewidth and […]
CMRI at Sidmouth Science Festival
A group representing the CMRI, consisting of Public Engagement Manager (and CMRI PhD alumni) Dr David Newman and current PGRs Jonathon Smith and Stuart Kendall, went to the Sidmouth Science Festival (Saturday 7th October) to present a series of outreach demonstrators introducing a variety of wave phenomena and wave-matter interactions. The demonstrators then led to […]
New publication: Inverse Design of Thin-Plate Elastic Wave Devices
Congratulations to CMRI postdoctoral researcher James Capers who has had his work ‘Inverse Design of Thin-Plate Elastic Wave Devices‘ published in Physical Review Applied. In this work, James applies principles from electromagnetism to manipulate mechanical energy with a view towards using graded plates as lenses or for performing mode shaping. This work has applications for […]
New publication: Fabric-based triboelectric nanogenerators with ultrasonic spray coated graphene electrodes
Congratulations to CDT alumni Dr Kavya Sreeja Sadanandan whose work ‘Fabric-based triboelectric nanogenerators with ultrasonic spray coated graphene electrodes’ has been published in Nano Energy. In this work, Kavya and colleagues report on the effectiveness of a new triboelectric nanogenerator (devices that convert mechanical energy into an electric current) design which could be used in […]
