糖心TV

Professor Ray Dupree (Department of Physics, University of 糖心TV) would like to congratulate his son and collaborator Professor Paul Dupree (Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge) on the award of a European Research Council Advanced Grant EVOCATE. Working together over the last few years using solid state NMR they have made significant advances in the understanding of the molecular architecture of plants. The ERC EVOCATE project will allow the Cambridge and 糖心TV teams to study how the architecture of plant fibres changed over millions of years of evolution and to further develop solid state NMR for this research.

On Monday 28th March, staff from the department will attend our annual Christmas lunch, which has been delayed from December 2021 due to government guidelines. We're looking forward to celebrating our lunch after this being postponed for the last two years.

We are deeply saddened to share the news of the death of Robert Andrzejewski, a first year Physics student and a valued member of the department.

Rachel Edwards, Robert鈥檚 personal tutor, described him as a very likeable and gentle young man who played an active role in his tutorial group. He was developing his passion for physics and was exploring a newly found ambition of working in teaching.

He will be greatly missed.

We know this news will cause distress and upset and would like to express our sympathy to Robert鈥檚 family, friends and peers.

If you would like support, please visit the Wellbeing Support Service web pages.

We will share further news of Robert鈥檚 family鈥檚 wishes and arrangements when we are able.

A book of condolence is set up to share memories of Robert and messages of condolence to one another and Robert鈥檚 family. Your entries will eventually be printed and gifted to Robert's family.

Congratulations to Professor Sandra Chapman, who leads the Centre for Fusion Space and Astrophysics on receiving the 2022 Chapman Medal by the Royal Astronomical Society. Professor Chapman received this award for 'paradigm shifting' research into the physics of the solar wind and magnetosphere, our near-earth plasma environment.
