We have seven new students this year, who have just finished the first week of their projects! Having attended a busy virtual induction week, they were pleased to meet the rest of the CDT face-to-face in a socially-distanced outdoor treasure hunt across the city.
Our new students are:
| 2020 XM² cohort | Theme | Project | Supervisor 1 | Supervisor 2 |
| Kyle Arnold | Radiofrequency and microwave | Artificial Magnetic Conductor Surfaces for Conformal Antenna Design | Alastair Hibbins | Roy Sambles |
| George Braid | Visible, Infra-red and Terahertz | Laser implosion fusion for clean energy generation | David Wright | Jacopo Bertolotti |
| David Bruce | Acoustics and Phononics | New metasurfaces for acoustic control (Leaky Waves) | Alastair Hibbins | Roy Sambles |
| Jenner Gudge-Brooke | Radiofrequency and microwave | Miniaturised helical antennas for superdirectivity | Alastair Hibbins | Roy Sambles |
| Dan Moore | Acoustics and Phononics | Making the world sound better – acoustic metamaterials for manipulating sound in air and underwater | Alastair Hibbins | Roy Sambles |
| Tom Moynihan | Radiofrequency and microwave | Effect of Material Conductivity and Architecture on Electromagnetic Surface Wave Propagation | Alastair Hibbins | Roy Sambles |
| Lee Worgan | Acoustics and Phononics | RF and mm-wave imaging using optical modulation | Euan Hendry | Nick Stone |
Tom is based in Cambridge working with TWI and David is based in Dorset, undertaking his PhD part-time whilst working at Qinetiq.
