Poster prize for Liam Trimby at the 2nd International Symposium on Doped Amorphous Chalcogenides and Devices
Congratulations to Liam Trimby who won the poster prize for his work on “Tunable Band-Pass Filters using Phase-Change Metamaterials” at the 2nd International Symposium on Doped Amorphous Chalcogenides and Devices in the Lake District. The work demonstrates how phase-change materials can be used in conjunction with periodic hole arrays to manipulate the extraordinary optical transmission […]
Viva succesfully completed!
Very many congratulations to Tanveer Ahmad Tabish who successfully defended his PhD in May 2018. His thesis is titled “DEVELOPMENT OF GRAPHENE NANOSTRUCTURES FOR USE IN ANTI-CANCER NANOMEDICINE”, and has been supervised by Shaowei Zhang and Yongde Xia. Tanveer will soon be starting a 3-year post-doc position on the £5.7m EPSRC programme grant “Raman Nanotheranostics […]
SPIE Europe – XM2 PGRs presented their work at the only cross-disciplinary optics and photonics event in Europe
Four PGR students from Exeter’s CDT in Metamaterials travelled to Strasbourg to present their work at SPIE Europe, the only cross-disciplinary optics and photonics event in Europe. The conference covers topics across the most significant photonics technologies—from digital optics to quantum technologies to attosecond science. 2018 saw the addition of 7 new conference topics being covered […]
£15,000 ChAMP and WAFT Collaboration Fund award
£15,000 were recently awarded by the ChAMP / WAFT Collaboration Fund to the Physical Chemistry group at Cambridge and researchers at the University at Exeter. The CDT in Metamaterials PGR Liam Trimby contributed significantly to the development of this proposal, following an idea from Dr A Alexeev to demonstrate a novel approach for chemical sensing […]
16 May 2018 – Celebrate the International Day of Light with us!
The International Day of Light takes place on 16 May 2018. Our CDT in Metamaterials postgraduate researchers in Physics and Engineering (Erick Burgos, Henry Fernandez, Joaquín Faneca) have joined forces with Astrophysics (Dr Jennifer Hatchell), Biophysics (Dr Francesca Palombo, Dr Noemi Correa) and Archaeology (Adrian Oyaneder) to celebrate this day with three events: An outreach […]
Our PGRs presented their research at the Magnetism 2018 in Manchester – and returned home with a poster prize winner in their midst!
Congratulations to our very own Natalie Whitehead for winning the best poster award for her work “Theory of Linear Spin Wave Emission from a Bloch Domain Wall” at the Magnetism 2018 in Manchester! Magnetism 2018 (IOP) is the premier conference organised by the UK and Rol magnetism community. It welcomes and encourages participation from Europe […]
Viva successfully completed!
Very many congratulations to Alba Paniagua Diaz who successfully defended her PhD on Monday 10 April 2018. Her thesis title is “Light in scattering media: active control and the exploration of intensity correlations” and she was examined by Christian Soeller (College for Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences; Univeristy of Exeter) and Tomas Cizmar (School of […]
Flann and University of Exeter research project aims to pave way for 5G communications revolution
Microwave engineering company Flann Microwave is teaming up with the University of Exeter as part of ground-breaking research which could help pave the way for the next generation of 5G mobile communications. Flann is working with PhD researcher Julia De Pineda-Gutiérrez from the Department of Physics and Astronomy on a four-year project which aims to […]
