Kyle Arnold wins first prize for poster at Operating in Future Electromagnetic Environments Symposium (OFEME)
The Operating in Future Electromagnetic Environments Symposium (OFEME) is a two-day event run by DSTL to bring together government scientists, military personnel, industry researched and academics to share ideas about how technology can ensure control of the electromagnetic spectrum in an increasingly congested and contested world. Four of our CDT PhD students: James Capers, Kyle […]
New Publication: Inverse design in the complex plane: Manipulating quasi-normal modes
Congratulations to final year PGRs James Capers and Dean Patient, whose paper ‘Inverse design in the complex plane: Manipulating quasi-normal modes’ has been recently accepted by Physical Review A. James explains the importance of this paper’s findings: To design materials for use in solar panels, gas sensors and thermal emitters it is necessary to control the […]
New Publication: Designing Disordered Multi-Functional Metamaterials using the Discrete Dipole Approximation
Congratulations to fourth-year PGR James Capers, who has just had his paper ‘Designing Disordered Multi-Functional Metamaterials using the Discrete Dipole Approximation’ accepted for publication in New Journal of Physics. James explains the significance of the paper’s findings: Being able to manipulate radiation in any desired way is key to sensing, stealth, power transfer and next-generation […]
PGR Presentations Conference
On 2nd and 3rd October, our CDT PGRs held a two-day conference of CDT PGR presentations at Manor House Hotel, Okehampton, following last year’s successful PGR Presentation Conference at Escot House, Ottery St Mary. The conference involved a mix of presentations and team-building activities to help cohort-bonding and to welcome in the first years. As […]
CDT PGRs at Sidmouth Science Festival
Sidmouth Science Festival is an event held every year in Sidmouth that aims to engage with public and inform them how STEM relates to the things we do every day. It aims specially to educate younger members of the public and inspire them to take up a career in STEM themselves. This year the festival […]
