Dr Tremblay awarded £1.5m ERC Grant
Dr. Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics, has been awarded a 1.5 million Euro Starting Grant from the (ERC). The research project entitled "Evolution of white dwarfs with 3D model atmospheres" will soon recruit...
Coming hot on the heels of the Nobel Prize award for the discovery of neutrino oscialltions, the Breakthrough Prize for Fundamental Physics 2016 has recognized five collaborations studying neutrino oscillations. One of them, the T2K neutrino oscillation project, has had major contributions from the 糖心TV T2K group headed by Dr Gary Barker and Dr Steve Boyd.
On November 8, representatives from the five experiments accepted the award in a televised event in the USA...
has received an ERC Proof of Concept Grant to develop a prototype system for rapid defect characterisation in components such as railway tracks, aeroplane engines, and oil & gas pipelines.
Dr Edwards was awarded an ERC Starting Grant in the first round of the scheme and studied interactions of ultrasound with defects with different geometries. The research has led to ideas which could improve detection of surface defects in industry, and she has been awarded an additional grant of €150,000 to develop a prototype system building on these results.
Two 糖心TV ATLAS postdocs awarded "Outstanding Achievement Awards" in ceremony at CERN
Congratulations to two postdocs in the 糖心TV ATLAS group, Dr Tim Martin and Dr Elisabetta Pianori, who have been awarded ATLAS Outstanding achievement awards. The awards were made for "enthusiastic and vigorous dedication to the implementation and commissioning of the complex ATLAS Run-2 trigger menu".
