PhD student Fabrizio Nieri has been appointed a Visiting Graduate Fellow at the Perimeter Institute in Canada for a period of 4 months (3 March to 30 June).  He will be joining his PhD supervisor Sara Pasquetti, who holds an Emmy Noether Fellowship at the Perimeter Institute for the Spring-Summer Semester.  The web page for […]

Cesare Tronci attend the 55th Annual Meeting of the Division of Plasma Physics of the American Physical Society.  At the conference, Cesare presented a poster on “Hamiltonian and Lagrangian approaches to hybrid kinetic-fluid plasmas“, co-authored with Philip Morrison (University of Texas at Austin) and Emanuele Tassi (University of Marseille).  The website for the conference is […]

Philip Aston has been working with Manasi Nandi and Mark Christie (Kings College London) on extracting information from large blood pressure data sets. A density plot that Philip produced, derived from data, has appeared on the digital canvas for the “Future is Here” website which the Technology Strategy Board has compiled to give a ‘glimpse […]
