New Publication: ‘The Fundamental Mechanism Behind Colossal Permitivity in Oxides’
Congratulations to fourth year PGRs Francis Davies and Ned Taylor, third year PGR Shane Davies and second year PGR Conor Price, who have co-authored a paper with Dr. Steven Hepplestone. The paper, titled ‘The Fundamental Mechanism Behind Colossal Permittivity in Oxides‘, determines the mechanism responsible for colossal permittivity exhibited by various oxides to be that of […]
Jess Brown at Acoustofluidics Forum
On 16th and 17th October, third year PGR Jess Brown attended Acoustofluidics Forum. She reports on her experience of the event: This 2-day meeting of the Acoustofluidics Special Interest Group in the UK Fluidic Network took place at Cardiff University, hosted by Dr Chris Yang and his research group (MUSL) – this is the […]
Joseph Beadle submits his thesis!
Congratulations to CDT PGR Joseph Beadle, who submitted his thesis last week. Joseph was supervised by Prof. J. R. Sambles and Prof. A.P. Hibbins, and his PhD project was entitled: ‘An exploration of acoustic metasurfaces’. The aim was to experimentally explore the effect that structuring surfaces had on the near-field acoustic surface waves. The project […]
New Publication: Controlling collective rotational patterns of magnetic rotors
Congratulations to CDT alumnus Dr.Joshua Hamilton, whose paper Controlling collective rotational patterns of magnetic rotors has recently been published in Nature Communications. Josh works as a postdoctoral research fellow in TEAM-A at University of Exeter. A summary of the paper is below: Combining experiments, simulations, and theoretical arguments Josh Hamilton and his collaborator Daiki Matsunaga have […]
Summer Student Projects 2019
This summer, three of our then-third year PGRs (Pablo Martinez Pancorbo, Ned Taylor and Elizabeth Martin) were awarded summer student bursaries, covering a small stipend and project fees to allow them to host an undergraduate student for 10 weeks to complete a summer research project. In a competitive process, the PGRs had to put forward […]
