Its with great pleasure that I can annouce that Deirdre Hollingsworth has been promoted to full Professor (from 1st June 2017).

This is a great recognision of all the fantastic work she has accomlished in the relatively short time she has been at Warwick.

Many many congratulations.

Congratulations to Laura, Deirdre, David and Mike, who all have new papers out this week.
