Between the 4th and 6th of September, the Astronomy & Astrophysics group held a meeting at the Faculty of Arts Building to celebrate 21 years of astronomy at Warwick and the scientific legacy of the late Prof. Tom Marsh, the group founder.

A major new quantum technology research hub which is being led by researchers from University College London (UCL) and the University of Cambridge has been launched in collaboration with researchers from the University of Warwick.

In May, building work has begun in preparation for the UK’s first 1.2 GHz NMR spectrometer. The spectrometer is funded by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and will be provided by Bruker, with some additional MAS probes from Phoenix.

Congratulations to Professor Don Pollacco who has just been awarded £3 million from the ERC to develop a ‘digital telescope’ that will be capable of producing a highly sensitive continuous movie of the night sky.

The Centre for Doctoral Training in Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems
(HetSys II), led by Professor James Kermode from the School of
Engineering, Dr Livia Bartok-Partay from Chemistry and Professor
Nicholas Hine from Physics, will train a new generation of scientists
in computational modelling. It spans seven departments and three
university research centres forming a national centre of excellence in
computational simulation, providing world class opportunities in the
West Midlands.
