Congratulations to Prof Paolo Radaelli (Head of Condensed Matter Physics), who has been awarded the Cavaliere dell'Ordine della Stella d'Italia (Knight of the Order of the Star of Italy) by the President of the Italian Republic.
Congratulations to Henry Snaith, who has been awarded the James Joule Medal and Prize of the Institute of Physics for
'his pioneering discovery and development of highly efficient thin-film organic-inorganic metal-halide perovskite solar cells’
The Royal Society has announced the appointment of 43 new University Research Fellows (URFs) for 2017. The University Research Fellowship scheme aims to provide outstanding early career scientists, who have the potential to become leaders in their chosen fields, with the opportunity to build an independent research career. The scheme is extremely competitive and URFs are expected to be strong candidates for permanent posts in universities at the end of their fellowships, and many have gone on to enjoy significant national or international recognition for their work.
Congratulations to Professor Guy Wilkinson, recipient of the James Chadwick Medal and Prize 2017, for his outstanding contributions to the experimental study of heavy quarks and CP violation, most especially for his leadership of, and his decisive contributions to, the LHCb experiment at CERN.
Congratulations to Dr Alexy Karenowska winner of the University Public Engagement with Research Award
Condensed Matter Physics is delighted to announce that Ileana Andrea Bonilla Brunner & Christopher Davies have been jointly awarded the Nicholas Kurti Prize 2017 for the best presentation and distinguished work by a third year postgraduate student.
Well done Andrea and Chris.
