It’s no exaggeration to say that the research carried out at our Department of Physics could one day change the world. Whether developing optical fibres for use in biomedical imaging or working towards more efficient solar panels our Department of Physics is leading the way.
Today in 3WN 2.1 the Department is giving you a rare glimpse behind the lab doors at their physics research day.
So, if you’re interested in finding out about the ‘wonder material’ graphene, atom manipulating microscopes, space sprites or our state-of-the-art optical fibre manufacturing facilities now’s your opportunity.
It’s also a great chance for colleagues from other disciplines to find out about the possibilities of collaborative working in the future.
The event will be very informal with 10 minute drop-in presentations running throughout the day, a poster session and plenty of chance for discussion. And if you want to make a day of it, lunch is provided.
Professor Jonathan Knight, Head of Department, said: “This is an excellent opportunity to showcase the exciting work we’re doing here at the Department of Physics in the fields of photonics, nanoscience and condensed matter theory, as well as the work of our research centres.
“We’ve tried to make the day informative but accessible to appeal to everyone from fellow researchers to those with just a curiosity for the how the world works.”
The physics research day starts at 11:30 and promises to be a day of discoveries – if you have some time why not go along?
