David Newman spends Research Visit at Diamond Light Source
Second year PGR David Newman reports on his latest visit to Diamond Light Source, the UK’s national synchrotron science facility, located at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire. Between the 9th and 17th of December, I was at the Diamond Light Source in Didcot, near Oxford. The first few days were devoted to […]
CDT students co-organise Exeter-Bath Knowledge Transfer conference
During October 2019, some of our CDT students hosted a one-day student conference at the University of Exeter. This was co-organised with some PhD students from the Centre for Photonics and Photonic Materials (CPPM) from University of Bath- the “Exeter-Bath Knowledge Transfer”. The aim of this event was to bring together researchers from both institutions […]
