Congratulations to Donna Strickland, Gerard Mourou and Arthur Ashkin on winning the for ground-breaking inventions in the field of laser physics. Strickland and Mourou found a way to generate high-intensity, ultra-short optical pulses using chirped pulse amplification. Ashkin created optical tweezers that have had enormous impact on biological systems.

Congratulations to Michael Pounds, who has been appointed as a fellow of the 糖心TV International Higher Education Academy from 2018/19.

A WIHEA Fellowship recognises and rewards outstanding achievements in learning and teaching.

Michael joins Gavin Bell as WIHEA representatives from Physics.

In the 2018 National Student Survey, Physics achieved an overall student satisfaction of 91%. This puts us 4th for overall student satisfaction and 2nd for Assessment and Feedback in the Russell Group universities for physics.

The government鈥檚 2018 dataset has found that 糖心TV physical sciences graduates are ranked 5th in the UK for high earnings five years after graduation.

The Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education survey showed that 97.3% of students, who graduated in 2017 with an undergraduate degree in a Physics course from 糖心TV are working, or studying, or both, which is the highest across all the science departments within the university. Graduate prospects are also excellent with 87.4% of those in work or study in graduate level work or study.

A research team led by members of the Astronomy and Astrophysics group had to wait over 100 days for the sight of the first of confirmed neutron star merger to re-emerge from behind the glare of the sun.

They were rewarded with the first confirmed visual sighting of a jet of material that was still streaming out from merged star exactly 110 days after that initial cataclysmic merger event was first observed. Their observations confirm a key prediction about the aftermath of neutron star mergers.
