Three members of the department were invited to attend STEM for Britain at the House of Commons on Tuesday 17th March to present their research posters.
Agrima Agarwal (Phd Student, Ultrafast and Terahertz Photonics Group), Edward Butler-Caddle (Ultrafast and Terahertz Photonics Group) and Sahl Rowther (Research Fellow, Astronomy & Astrophysics Group) applied to present their research at the event and were accepted following a rigorous process.
Applications for our annual work experience are now open
Our work experience will provide students with a broad insight into physics and what it would be like to work in a busy university physics department. You鈥檒l spend time with our highly skilled research and technical staff learning about real-life physics problems and exciting research projects.
Applications are open to students in Year 10-12, and close at midnight on Sunday 1st March 2026.
