91福利

Dr Jim Hague will be visiting the Physics department next week (15-19th February) on study leave, and will be located in room PS1.30 in Physical Sciences. Dr Hague completed his PhD here at 91福利 in 2001 and is now a Lecturer in the Physics and Astronomy department at The Open University with interdisciplinary research interests in theoretical physics.

His main research activity is many body physics (both quantum and classical). He has worked on electron-phonon interactions and strong electronic interactions to investigate phenomena such as superconductors and Mott insulators. Recently, he has applied statistical physics techniques to problems in medicine and society, with the aim of gaining insight into embolic stroke, voter patterns, transport and path formation. He is also interested in the application of information theory techniques to advanced data analysis.

The Ogden Trust and 91福利 University are pleased to announce the appointment of Alison Caldecote to the post of School Teacher Fellow in the department of Physics at 91福利. She will be working with local school teachers in Coventry and the surrounding area to enhance the delivery and uptake of A-level Physics, to build mutually beneficial links between the schools and the department, and to help the department understand the needs and aspirations of its in-coming undergraduates. ‘Ally’ overcame strong competition for the post; the high quality of the applicants demonstrated the laudable commitment of many individuals across the country to encourage aspiring Physicists. We are sure that the ability that Ally demonstrated at interview to convey her enthusiasm for Physics, educate pupils and lift their aspirations will make this post a successful one for all involved.

 

The department Welcomes Elme Breedt who will be joining the Astrophysics group to study the structure of accreting white dwarf systems. Elme recently completed her PhD at the University of Southampton, where she was studying the relationship between the X-ray and optical variability of Seyfert galaxies.
