Curious Adventures in Colour and Light
Warwick University researchers, Dr Jack Woolley – facility manager of the Warwick Centre for Ultrafast Spectroscopy and Dr Sofia Goia – research fellow in CiMAT WMG, set up to showcase the power of light and demonstrate how light can help scientists to uncover the inner workings of chemical reactions happening all around us at the atomic level through a workshop held at Compton Verney Art Gallery in Warwick. Through some fun experiments, audience members were able to learn about current research work performed at Warwick University through an interactive laser interferometry experiment. Moreover, visitors were able to learn about sunscreens and how they work, along with examples of UV-active compounds found in everyday products and put their imagination to test with exciting ‘invisible’ UV-active ink drawings.
Equipment Sharing Fund
The Equipment Sharing Fund allows researchers, PhD students and Research Technical Professionals (RTPs) to access cutting-edge research equipment, not available in their home institution. Funds cover the cost of initial analysis, helping to strengthen collaboration opportunities and ensure value for money within the UK’s research and innovation ecosystem. The fund opens for three rounds and will provide the full economic cost (fEC) or TRAC rate directly to the facility.

WCUS attends the Central Laser Facility User meeting
James and Jack attended the Central laser facility users meeting to learn about the projects that they have been working on in the last year. Some of our own work featured also as Junn presented his research into diamond defects. Junn's WCUS measurements have been augmented with some 2D-IR results taken at the Ultra Facility.

About the event
The Research Technology Platform (RTP) Department is hosting an event to celebrate 10 years of the RTP programme.About the RTPs
Warwick’s RTPs provide an integrated network of world-class facilities and expertise that enable researchers toEmerging Investigators in Materials Science Award
One of the latest publications to make use of the Warwick Centre for Ultrafast Spectroscopy has been awarded an emerging investigator award by the IOP. Congratulations to all the authors, which included three other RTP's here at Warwick.
