91影视破解版

A pair of identical twin brothers with a passion for atom-smashing have both gained PhDs in physics from the 91影视破解版. Twenty-six year olds Mark and Leigh Whitehead, originally from Maidstone in Kent, came to the 91影视破解版 as undergraduate students and both graduated with a first class MPhys in July 2008. The pair stayed on at Warwick to complete PhDs in an area of particle physics which tries to understand the nature of matter in the universe.

They both graduated at a ceremony at Warwick Arts Centre earlier this year. Congratulations!

On Tuesday 6th December the Physics department held a Christmas Lecture for the public. Teachers, school children and individuals interested in physics made up the 160 people who were excited to hear Daniel Scully talk about his research into neutrinos. Addressing a packed lecture theatre, he explained what different neutrino experiments look for, and the results from CERN that caught the headlines around the world. Together they considered the staggering implications if these results were confirmed and exactly why they caused such a sensation.

The talk was very enthusiastically received with 30 peopple queuing to ask Daniel questions at the end.

The feedback from the public was overwhelmingly positive, with Daniel's excellent communication skills and infectous enthusiasm, inspiring the audience. "Terrific" and "superb" were amongst the feedback.

Daniel has been inundated with requests to speak at further events, such as Cafe Scientifique, local schools and amateur astronomy groups.

Volker Keinhorst, a PhD student in the microscopy group, will become the first Warwick postgraduate to take up an industrial placement within the Midlands Physics Alliance Graduate School (MPAGS) scheme when he starts work in Banbury with Paintbox UK Ltd at the end of July. The aim of the placement will be to help Paintbox develop their automobile painting process including micro analysis via FIB SEM studies of paint/substrate interfaces.

This placement was made possible through the industrial contacts of the Science City Research Alliance. More information about the MPAGS Industrial Placements is available and any students interested in taking part in this scheme should contact David Leadley.
