Gleb Berloff, 3rd year undergraduate student studying Physics with Astrophysics, submitted an entry to the Posters in Parliament event, based on activity cycles in Sun-like stars. The opportunity was advertised through IATL and included a tour of the House of Lords and Westminster Hall, a workshop titled ‘Get your voice heard in UK Parliament’ followed by the Student Research Poster Exhibition in the afternoon.

In an invited review, Warwick PG and UG students Bayo and Webb, together with their EUTOPIA colleagues Çivitcioğlu and Honecker as well as Warwick academic Römer, summarize recent progress in applications of deep learning methods to phase and structure determination for model systems in physics. This is part of a special topic issue on "machine learning physics" by the Japanese Physical Society.
