What you will study

One of the largest star formation groups in the UK with a wide variety of observational and theoretical programmes. Our main research themes cover: Actively involved in the complementary fields of Biophysics and Medical Physics. We explore the interaction of matter with electromagnetic radiation (from x-ray to microwave), sound and fluids. We investigate how this interaction can be manipulated, using materials structured from the nm to the cm scale ("metamaterials"), to provide novel and improved materials and devices.
