Coventry and Warwickshire schools were all invited to nominate their best year 11 and year 12 Physics student and on Monday 6th June they came to the University and were awarded a prize by Professor David Leadley (sponsored by The Ogden Trust).

 They saw demonstrations, met physicists and had a talk from Dr Rachel Edwards.

Congratulations to David Chapman, Tom Machon and Davide Michieletto who have been awarded 2016 Faculty of Science PhD Thesis Prizes for their exceptional research on Probing the dynamic response of dense matter with x-ray Thomson scattering, Aspects of Geometry and Topology in Liquid Crystalline Phases, and Topological Interactions in Ring Polymers, respectively.

The Staff Awards are a great opportunity to show appreciation of the hard work that goes on day to day, here at Physics. Prof Don Pollaco won the Research Excellence Award for your work on answering ‘Do other Earths exist?’
