Pint of Science 2021
Pint of Science 2021 was slightly different to previous years. Normally, the events would be held in pubs across the country, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was moved to an online format. Over 30 UK cities organised almost 70 live online shows. This year, the city of Exeter hosted three shows: Our Bodies […]
PGR contributions and poster winner at IOP Magnetism 2021
Five of our PGRs contributed to this year’s IOP Magnetism conference; IoP Magnetism is the largest conference for the UK/RoI magnetism community and features researchers/industry from across Europe. The contributions from our PGRs were: CONTRIBUTED TALKS: Oliver Latcham – “Magnetically tunable resonant acoustic transmission in phononic crystals” Kostas Chatzimpaloglou – “Optically detected spin-orbit […]
Zahid Hussain passes his viva!
Congratulations to PGR Zahid Hussain, who has passed his viva. His thesis was titled ‘Metal-organic Framework (MOFs) Derived Nanocomposites: Synthesis and Applications in Photocatalysis’. During his time with the CDT, Zahid published 11 papers, plus an English-to-Urdu translation of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics by Carlo Rovelli. Zahid now works as a postdoctoral researcher at Technical University […]
