We warmly welcome some of Professor Jennifer Wren’s research group, who occupy desks on level 3 in MAS. The group is called Warwick FIRE (http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/eng/research/thermofluids/warwickfire).

Researchers from many institutions worldwide, including Warwick Univesity, have analysed data from the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider and have found preliminary evidence for the decay of Higgs Bosons to pairs of tau leptons.

The University has received investment from EPSRC to create four Centres for Doctoral Training (CDT) designed to nurture the brightest PhD students. The four centres focus on the areas of real-world mathematics, molecular analysis, cities and the science of diamonds.
