Guanchen Peng | CQD CDT | Mary Matthews and Ben Sauer | Leo Rowe-Brown | Well done! |
Stefano Merlini | PLAS | Jonathan Pritchard and Lorenzo Mateini | Sophia Zomerdijk-Russell |
We were very impressed with the quality and engagement of Stefano’s talk. From the start, this was a talk that engaged with the audience and clearly explained not only the topic, but why they should care. The centre piece of a movie showing the shock caused by material ablating from two targets provided a compelling visual hook. He demonstrated a clear understanding of the topic and the scope of his work. This was a talk that wasn’t afraid to be ambitious in the material covered, but took the time to make it accessible to the audience. A fact shown most clearly by the many questions and obvious interest from the audience at the end of the talk. |
Matthew Ward | PE CDT | William Brnadford and Jack Gartside | Jack Coker |
The general standard was extremely high, with eight excellent projects and very high calibre presentations. It was very difficult to pick a winner but we have gone for Matthew Ward’s talk on Highly Selective High Speed Photodiodes. This really stood out in terms of quality of communication of the big picture motivation, clear explanation of technical concepts and excellent experimental results. He drew a clear link between the physics and the technological benefits, and answered questions very confidently. |
Simon Williams | HEPP | Zulfikar Najmudin and Julia Sedgbeer | Simon Williams |

Wai Kit Ng | EXSS | Yasmin Andrews; Helder Crespo, Michael Fox, John Hassard and Vijay Tymms |
We were extremely impressed with the poster presentations at this year's symposium covering a broad range of topics reflecting the research interests across the department. The quality of the posters was excellent, and the presenters did a terrific job in explaining their work on the day. It was very difficult to select a winner, but overall we felt that George Horner's work on cloud properties, and Abdul-Haseeb Munj's impressive presentation on photonics were a worthy tie for second place, while Wai Kit Ng's striking poster and deft explanations of his work on control of complex laser systems using artificial neural networks merited the first prize. Well done to all! |

Peter Stephenson | SPAT | Edward Gryspeerdt | Thomas Woolley & Marie Shaylor |
Peter's presentation gave an excellent explanation of the cold-electron problem when looking at data from the Rosetta mission. His talk was easily accessible to a non-expert but also included technical details and simulation results, demonstrating how his work provided a potential solution to this issue and illustrating where his research could proceed in the future. The confident delivery and answers to questions further demonstrated his knowledge of the subject. His talk was also supported by clear and well-designed slides. Well done! |
Vicente Valenzuela Villaseca | PLAS | Mark Neil | Tim Marley |
Today’s morning session 2 had a wide range of high quality talks from PHOT and PLAS. However the one that stood out was that given by Vicente Valenzuela Villaseca on his experimental work on the physics of plasma effects in the sort of accretion disks usually found in high energy astrophysics. His enthusiasm came through as he presented and explained clearly a set of results from what is a challenging experiment on black-holes that he has been working on in the basement of Blackett! |
David Monk | HEPP | John Hassard | Simon Williams |
This student has taken on a huge technological challenge with real insight, verve and an impressive boldness. To put it in context- his work will facilitate a single experiment handling data equivalent to the entire metropolitan area of London. All the students I had the pleasure of judging were very strong. Most of them were in contention for winning this. Choosing between them is difficult. But I feel David Monk spoke with real clarity, he addressed the physics problems he would contribute to solving, explaining why the vast data volumes were necessary and how he was going to take the necessary steps. His slide deck was a model of clarity. His presentation was understated, but had a real intensity. I'd like to acknowledge at least three of the others, but feel I should mention the very impressive Simon Williams by name as well. What strikes me is how remarkably strong all our students are. |
Tahiyat Huq | EXSS | Ji-Seon Kim | Jonathan Lightley |
Talk on characterising the nonlinear response of solid-state nanomaterials. Excellent presentation with clear aim, results and further plans of the project. The contents were well explained with simple terms, which can be easily followed by nonexperts in this research area. Very good answers to the questions demonstrating good understanding of fundamentals related to the project. |
Katherine Stewart | PE CDT | Ji-Seon Kim | Jonathan Lightley |
Talk on understanding electrochemical doping in a π-conjugated polymer/solid-state ionic liquid complex as a highly sensitive and selective VOC sensor. Exciting areas of research using new composite materials (electronic and ionic) for sensing application. Well organised and well presented talk with clear aim, results and future plan. Not only application but also fundamental understanding of sensing process are well explained. Good answers to the questions. |
Andreas Svela | QSE | Alan Heavens | Jan Geberbauer |
In an excellent session of high-quality talks, this one stood out as a beautifully illustrated and well-delivered talk, giving plenty of context as well as explaining the science and the challenges of scattering in these systems, and showing impressive scientific results. |
Lena Lenz | ASTR | Kim Christensen | Peru D’Ornellas & Milan Rakic |
Lena explained how she and her team developed an automated method to identify high-redshift quasars in photometric surveys in the presence of a large number of contaminants and false positive. This technique is going to be used on new upcoming data-sets from e.g. Euclid, enabling them to find the first quasars at red-shift z>8. Lena had clearly considered that she was presenting to a general audience. With simple slides, she guided the audience through the questions of why this research is important, how it was conducted and its implications. Lena also excelled in the question and answer sessions with clear succinct answers to all queries in an extremely engaging way. Well done! |
Tom Hodson | CMTH | Kim Christensen | Peru D’Ornellas & Milan Rakic |
The Kitaev Honeycomb model is one of the best known exactly solvable models in condensed matter theory. The Kitaev model is an interesting toy model that shows the emergence of an unusual two-spin interaction in two dimensions. Tom had made great effort to present simple slides conveying the main points without going into (irrelevant) technical details. Therefore, the talk served as an excellent introduction for non-experts to what a theoretical physicist does and why. Tom mastered the language in the delivery to produce an engaging and informative presentation that left the audience enthused about the Kitaev model. Well done! |

Matthew Ward | PE CDT | Riccardo Sapienza | George Greaves |
Joint winner for the clarity and confidence in the presentation, especially in the mechanism for CP selection, and very interests results in understanding chiral absorption. Albeit crowded with too much text I found the graphical style very good. |
Zamzam Al-Khalili | EXSS | Riccardo Sapienza | George Greaves |
Joint winner for the outstanding graphical presentation, clear and very well presented, with energy and confidence. The message was very well delivered. |
Caleb Rich | CQD CDT | Arttu Rajantie | George Greaves |
This excellent poster describes cutting-edge experimental research in quantum optics, focusing on understanding and controlling collisions between ultracold molecules and atoms in a magnetic trap. The poster is visually pleasing and has a well-structured overall appearance. The well-chosen and clear figures communicate the key points at first glance. They are backed up by the well-written text which strikes the right balance between conciseness and detail. The background for the research is explained in a clear and accessible way, and at the end of poster, the findings are summarised succinctly in that context. |
Milan Rakic | CMTH | Daniel Mortlock | George Greaves |
Milan Rakic’s poster describing his investigations of elastic responses in super-solidity described a fascinating problem in condensed matter physics regarding the possibility of "super-solids”. The poster was very clear, and used a good combination of text, mathematics and graphics to convey both the problems and the progress towards solving them. Milan gave very clear descriptions of both the fundamentals of this topic (something not familiar to me) and the methods he’s been using to solve these. The results so far seem both promising and puzzling, with plenty more room for exploration of a truly exciting possible form of matter. |
Ronan Laker | SPAT | Stuart Mangles | Bilgesu Aydin |
Ronan presented an excellent poster describing his research which combines data from various spacecraft to map the solar wind in 3D. His poster design worked very well with the online poster format. |
Aoibheann Margalit | THEO | Stuart Mangles | Bilgesu Aydin |
Aoibheann presented a poster on effective field theories of gravity and gave a very clear account of her research, managing to communicate difficult theoretical concepts, even explaining why theories which predict gravitational waves travelling faster than light might not be as wrong as you think! |
Sam O'Neill | PLAS | Michael McCann | Bilgesu Aydin |
The standout poster was by Sam O'Neill, about determining the most efficient way to apply a magnetic field during inertial confinement fusion, and finding the propagation of the fusion zone was highly dependent on the magnetic field. The poster was very clear, and he was able to enthuse about the topic very well. The progress being made was high, with potentially a big impact given the importance of developing working fusion. |
Jergus Strucka | PLAS | Michael McCann | Bilgesu Aydin |
Honourable mention - Jergus was also very passionate and clear about his topic of developing a new x-ray source capable of probing the dense environments in fusion. |
Tim Marley | HEPP | Tim Horbury | Bilgesu Aydin |
First I would say, and it would be good to communicate to the students, just how high quality were all the posters and the presentations; and I really appreciate all the hard work that everyone has put in. It was fascinating hearing about all the excellent working going on in the department. For me (looking at HEP), the best poster was Tim Marley, for a fascinating and clearly presented poster about his work on a phenomenon which can improve future dark matter searches. |
Liv Våge | HEPP | Tim Horbury | Bilgesu Aydin |
Honourable mention - had very interesting and engaging posters and is contributing to innovative approaches to the simulation and analysis of particle detectors. |
Simon Williams | HEPP | Tim Horbury | Bilgesu Aydin | Honourable mention - had very interesting and engaging posters and is contributing to innovative approaches to the simulation and analysis of particle detectors. |

Samuel Davis | PHOT MREs | Mark Scott |
Samuel gave an excellent presentation on the principles and use of optical projection tomography in medical imaging. The talk was clear and accessible, effectively engaging the audience in the subject matter. He also did a very good job of describing the computational and experimental methods being employed and the various effects these had on the resultant images. Overall this was a well balanced presentation that was well delivered and was a great showcase for the work Samuel has done. |
Phoebe Pearce | EXSS | Jenny Nelson |
on the basis of the combination of excellent science content and very clear presentation. |
Vukasin Milosevic | HEPP | Kim Christensen |
Excellent and clear explanation of why the research was done and its implications from the very outset of the talk. Managed to convey to a non-specialist why a two trigger strategy in the analysis of data is superior to a one trigger anabysis. Clearly structured talk facilitating the understanding. Good use of animated slides to convey main ideas. WELL DONE! |
Christopher Ho | CQD CDT | Dan Waldram |
First, I would like to thank the speakers for all giving exceptionally strong talks. All the presentations were clearly thought out, well-paced, informative and insightful. They covered a wide range of topics, some much easier to present to a general audience and some really very difficult. The enthusiasm of the speakers for their work shone through and I would gladly recommend sharing the prize, but it seems that is not a possibility… By a very small margin, let me recommend Christopher Ho. His talk was exceptionally clear, running from theory to experiment, all presented at just the right level and with excellent slides. My congratulations to all.” |

Marie Rider | TSM CDT | Piers Barnes |
Her engaging poster elucidated a fascinating application of the optical properties of topological insulators shrunk to a nanometre scale. In this size range, she demonstrates that THz lasing may occur via the evenly separated surface energy states within the Dirac cone of a topical insulator. |
Juke Johnson | ASTR | Piers Barnes | For his development of software to aid the search for exoplanets. |
Ross Schofield | QSE | Will Branford; Mike Finnis and Ralf Toumi |
The posters I was judging were of excellent quality and the students did great credit to the department. There has to be one winner and my choice is Ross Schofield for his poster on Molecular Single Photon Sources. He spoke with great enthusiasm and knowledge about the organic single crystals he was growing and using in his experiments. He showed clarity and insight when discussing the physics challenges in achieving reliable single photon sources for quantum optics. Well done!" |
Cary Colgan | PLAS | Will Branford; Mike Finnis and Ralf Toumi |
The aim he explained is to study “warm dense matter”, an exotic state of matter that we don’t meet in everyday life, because ‘warm’ in this context is typically 10.000 degrees or warmer. It wasn’t a level playing field in terms of progress, because he started his PhD in 2017 I believe, several others were in their first year. He had made good progress with it, his explanations were clear and his poster was simple in design, clear and informative, with motivation and conclusions easy to find. |

Ewan’s research looks at transient phenomena in Saturn’s high latitude magnetic field, and marries observational results from the Cassini mission with insights into the causes of the transient events recorded in Cassini data. All the talks in this session were fascinating, expertly presented, and on time, but Ewan’s enthusiasm and knowledge of the topic came through in his talk and he is a worthy winner of the prize. |
Sarah Thomas | CQD CDT | James Mcginty |
The overall standard of the presentations was very high and all the speakers applied themselves commendably. And the winner is … Sarah Thomas on “High-dimensional temporal mode manipulation using quantum memories”. Sarah provided clear motivation for the research and how it relates to widely applied 2-state approaches. She explained the high-dimensional read/write concept using animated schematics and clearly described the experimental work and results obtained to date. She spoke enthusiastically and with precision on her research and answered questions very well. |
Shane Breeze | HEPP | Hagen Triendl |
Motivated very well by reviewing the dark matter problem and weakly interacting massing particles (WIMPs). He explained with great clarity both on his slides and his talk. He showed enthusiasm in giving his talk and in answering questions. |
Jack Maxwell | PHOT | Bill Proud |
The presentation involved a good mix of theory, experiment and analysis. The application to biological and engineering materials was clear. The questions and discussion was stimulating.
Like many of the sessions, this was a difficult choice and all presentations were clear, confident and professional. |

Alexander Coney | PHOT | Bill Proud |
The combination of the poster and the discussion with the student were the things that made this stand out. The student clearly linked the underlying scientific research to matters of significant societal concern, deforestation, climate etc. The use of satellite telemetry, imaging and sensors is important to a wide range of technologies. This poster session was excellent and all students were very good at adapting their description to the level of understanding of the questioner. A very enjoyable session. |
Lara Román Castellanos | TSM CDT | Myungshik Kim | The posters were a good collection of front-line research at Imperial Physics Department. Plasma and Quantum researches were particularly well represented in the poster session. The winner of the poster session is Lara Roman. She presented her work on localised plasmons very clearly, explaining the results in simple terms. She was also very well engaged with her audience to make sure that her details are clearly delivered. Interesting physics research and wonderful delivery so the prize goes to Lara. |

Luca Rigovacca | QOLS | Matthew Foulkes |
Quantum key distribution is now a practical technology, but how do you know you can trust the key distribution system you have been sold? How do you prove it is non-classical? This turns out to be surprisingly difficult. In 1987, Hong, Ou and Mandel considered a system in which two independent but identical photons entered a 50/50 beam splitter from either side simultaneously. Classically, you would expect photons to emerge in both directions equally. In reality, both photons emerge on the same side of the beam splitter every time. This unexpected behaviour provides a clear signature of quantum behaviour. Luca Rigovacca has successfully generalized the Hong-Ou-Mandel result to systems with any number of sources and detectors. Along the way, he has published two first-author papers in Phys. Rev. A, one in Phys. Rev. Lett, and one in Scientific Reports. His presentation was clear and engaging. One or two of the other talks were perhaps more inspiring, but Luca was at a disadvantage because he had so much more to say. The content of his talk was excellent and his accomplishments are impressive. |
Claude Jean-Paul Schmit | ASTR | Paul Dauncey |
Against very strong competition in his session, the award goes to Claude Schmit for a very clear and interesting presentation on simulation and statistical inference of the cosmological reionization epoch. Claude pitched the level of the talk very well, balancing some complex concepts with very easy-to-follow descriptions that even the judge could understand. He demonstrated a good grasp of the material, and his level of achievement was high, particularly given the short time he said he had been working in this area. The slides were well structured, with a nice logical flow, and Claude’s presentational style was relaxed and informative. |
Joshua Holgate | PLAS | Steve Rose and Zulf Najmudin |
Joshua presented a very clear talk at a level that was widely appreciated by the audience. The research he showed was well motivated with good background material, and the modelling he presented showed remarkable agreement with experimental droplet behaviour. |
Philip Calado |
EXSS (PE CDT) | Dan Waldram |
First, my congratulations to all the PhD students who spoke. The strength and inventiveness of the research and the expertise the students have developed came through very clearly, even to a non-expert and even when the topic was technical. There were several talks that I thought clearly deserved special commendation but unfortunately could only choose one. Phil’s talk was clear and very well constructed. He introduced why Perovskite solar cells were important, presented the key question of the origin of hysteresis in the cells and showed how his research had led to a clear model of this effect. He judged the balance between technical and simple physical pictures extremely well and answered all the questions adroitly. This was an excellent talk among a very strong group. |
Lars Mejnertsen | SPAT | Richard Thompson |
Lars presented simulations of the magnetosphere using the GORGON code. He gave a clear introduction to his research, clarifying the motivation for studying the subject and in particular for carrying out simulations. He introduced the GORGON code by describing the physics that it models. He showed encouraging results from his benchmark tests of the code for the Earth’s magnetosphere. He then showed new results for Neptune where less data are available. His work demonstrates that this code generates reliable and useful simulations of the magnetosphere. His presentation was engaging and informative, with well-prepared and clear slides. |
Madeleine Morris | EXSS (PE CDT) | Tim Horbury |
Madeleine Morris presented her work on the use of ferroelectric materials to improve the efficiency of solar-powered water splitting devices. In a clear and well-structured talk, she described how the recombination of photon-generated electrons and holes reduces efficiency and how her experimental results showed that the use of ferroelectric materials could dramatically improve their transport and lifetimes, with the ultimate goal of solar-powered hydrogen generation. I would say that all the talks were very good and the students had obviously put significant effort into them. |
Farnaz Ostovari | CMTH (TSM CDT) | Andrew Jaffe |
This talk described a practical problem with important engineering consequences for the long-term behaviour of turbines in jet engines. There was a good discussion of the problem and the underlying physical principles that come into play. Various explanations for the rumpling behaviour were considered qualitatively and quantitatively, eventually concentrating on the clues provided by the behaviour under thermal cycling, leading to a new understanding of the physics behind the rumpling. The talk gave excellent descriptions of the problem and its solution, possibly pointing towards way of ameliorating it in the real world. |

Thomas Brick | EXSS |
Will Branford Rennishaw |
The standard was very high, so congratulations to all the students from EXSS, PE CDT, ISP, PLAS and SPAT. It was a tough choice but there has to be a winner, and the winner is Thomas Brick. He was chosen for the combination of enthusiastic and insightful discussion of the science and exciting physics results in the area of “Overcoming photo-thermal effects for the fabrication of dimers with sub-diffraction gaps by optical printing.” |
Tai-an Cheng |
ASTR |
Robert Nyman Winton Capital |
He gave a particularly clear, and crucially jargon-busting explanation of what he'd done, what he'd learnt and where he was going next. He has discovered a protocluster - the precursor to a galaxy cluster. He did both the observations and the analysis across multiple observation wavelengths, which shows excellent scientific skills to go with the top quality communication. |
Riccardo Di Maria | HEPP |
Rupert Oulton AWE |
Riccardo gave a lucid description of his work investigating the nature of dark matter from the "invisble" decay channels of Higgs Bosons amongst data from CMS expt at LHC. With excitement he discussed his small team's progress in narrowing bounds on branching ratios of Higgs-invisible decay channels. A neat eye catching poster with clear and enthusiastic discussion. |

Rob Wilson | CMTH (TSM CDT) | Tim Evans |
Rob’s talk was well presented like all the talks in LT1. However what made his talk stand out to me was the way he stripped out most of the technical details and made it accessible to a general audience such as myself. |
Jack Carter-Gartside | EXSS | Ray Murray |
This session contained many good talks. I would describe three in particular as being excellent “Control over magnetisation states of nanostructures via injection of 360 degree domain walls” by Jack Carter-Gartside, “Semiconductor nanoplasmonics” by Michael Nielsen and “The potential of solar power to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions” by Philip Sandwell. However I’m obliged to choose one of these and the winner is Jack Carter-Gartside. In his work, a magnetic AFM tip is used to modify the chirality of domain walls in cobalt or permalloy nanowires (producing 3600 domain walls). This offers the possibility to switch the magnetisation states of, for example, at the intersections of a hexagonal nanowire array using a high magnetic field (writing) and subsequent low magnetic field (reading). |
Allan Johnson | QOLS | Martin McCall |
Allan’s talk on ‘Long and Short Wavelength Sources for Attosecond Science’ was a model of clarity. Contextualising the attosecond timescale with the study of electron dynamics and electronic-nuclear coupling, Allan explained the significance of Carrier Envelope Phase in attosecond generation and measurement. The lack of coherent sources around 100nm, motivated a method to produce soft-x-ray attosecond pulses that utilized the scaling of harmonic energy with wavelength, and hence the need for long wavelength, few-cycle CEP stable pulse drivers. His work is a significant contribution towards laboratory coherent soft X-ray sources. |
Alvaro Sánchez González |
QOLS | Kenny Weir |
In deciding a winner the presentation chosen is particularly noted for its clear and informative introduction to the topic. Though a rather specialised topic it was presented in a manner that was accessible to a broad audience. Building on this it had a very well thought out structure which led the audience from the basic principles, through to the practical issues that exist, how they are currently addressed and the challenges of moving to higher repetition rates. The prize goes to the presentation “The implementation of machine learning to allow ultrafast measurements at x-ray free electron lasers at high repetition rates” by Alvaro SANCHEZ GONZALEZ |
Oliver Ettlinger | PLAS | Matthew Foulkes |
The talks in the Blackett 741 session on plasma physics, shock physics, astrophysics and particle physics, were all good. Four or five would have made worthy prize-winners, but the best by a whisker was Oliver Ettlinger’s talk on “Radiation pressure driven ion acceleration from shaped gas jet targets”. This was well paced and clearly delivered, covered enough background material to explain the importance of the work, included plenty of technical content, and presented some fascinating results. It is possible that Oliver’s work may lead to the development of improved injectors for real proton therapy systems. A special mention goes to Jack Hare’s work on “Hunting Monsters in the basement of Blackett”, which looks likely to throw new light on the very fundamental mysteries of magnetic reconnection. If these talks had been given a few months later, I suspect he might have been the winner. |
Shuai Wang | SPAT | Heather Graven |
Out of seven very engaging talks, covering fires, clouds, hurricanes and supersymmetry, Shuai’s talk stood out in terms of his progress and achievement. He has developed a new model to describe the size, intensity and resulting damage of hurricanes. The new model is based on the underlying physics, has a better predictive power than previous models, and it has no free parameters. He showed an exciting new finding that hurricane damage is most strongly related to vertical wind shear, rather than sea surface temperature as previously assumed. Shuai’s research has implications for understanding the impact of climate change on hurricane damage, presently a controversial topic. |

Sian Williams | SPAT | Mark Neil | In a broad session and amongst strong competition with talks ranging from string theory through astronomical gravitational lensing to climate models, Siân’s talk is highlighted for its clarity and wide range of presentation techniques she used to describe her excellent work on analyzing dust storms. It was made clear that there is a lot more to these beasts than the red dust that settles on your car or the smog that sometimes envelopes London. The research that Siân presented will further help us track their progress across the globe and understand their impact on the climate. |
Jessica Wade | EXSS | Jerome Gauntlett | The seven talks from the EXSS group were all of an excellent standard and I thoroughly enjoyed the session. I would first like to give an honourable mention to George Richardson who bravely attempted to get a theorist to do an experiment in real time – of course the inevitable happened and I broke it! I would also like to give an honourable mention to Alexandra Ramadan who gave a clear and enthusiastic description of her work on structural templating using copper iodide. The winner of the session was Jessica Wade who gave a superb presentation of her work, which uses Raman spectroscopy to probe the orientation of organic molecules and to investigate how this impacts on the performance of various devices. The work was presented in a coherent and engaging manner, the slides were of the highest standard and the delivery of the presentation was excellent. |
Jorge Costa Dantas Faria | EXSS Plastic Electronics | Myungshik Kim | Zinc Oxides are known to be a useful component for organic LEDs and solar cells. But we do not know what role zinc oxides plays in the reaction to switch between photon and electric energies. The work is to investigate how ZnO is contributing to the reaction. The step-by-step investigation is clearly explained and the results are logically analyzed. The outlook is very well set out. It is an interesting work and very well presented. |
James Almond | QOLS | Ray Murray | This talked described buffer gas cooling of ytterbium fluoride molecules to about 100 mK. The cold molecules are thrown upward to form a fountain and excited by lasers. The aim is to measure the electron dipole moment to test charge parity symmetry. The talk was very clearly presented and delivered with excellent slides. |
Kishan Manani | CMTH | Roland Smith | This morning’s session in LT1 saw 10 students deliver a range of excellent presentations covering subjects as diverse as improvements to supercapacitor energy storage, growth of grapheme on iridium surfaces and modeling of inter-particle forces in granular materials. Kishan Manani gave an enthusiastic and engaging presentation of his work on the creation of numerical models based on cellular automata to describe atrial fibrillation in heart muscle. His work shows how a relatively simple physical system can give rise to complex self-organising effects, and his animations show a striking similarity to measurements of electrical waves circulating in live heart tissue. This work has the potential to inform and improve medical procedures, currently termed “burn and learn” by surgeons and may in the future help to refine them to the point where numerical modelling can guide an electrical scalpel in order to cure damaging heart problems. |
John Winters | PLAS (Shock) | Steve Warren | This PhD student gave a very clear and interesting talk, describing the effect of the increase in yield strength of metals with increasing strain rate, and his use of laser shock loading of thin foils to investigate and understand this phenomenon. |
Mihai Vidrighin | QOLS (CDT) | Matthew Foulkes | This talk described how Mihai designed and built an optical realization of Maxwell’s demon and showed that it can extract work from randomness. (The second law of thermodynamics is saved by the increase in entropy associated with the erasure of information in the measurement system.) The experimental work led the student to derive a new thermodynamic identity, related to the Jarzynski equality but apparently more general. This may be a significant advance. I liked the imaginative combination of experiment and theory and how one informed the other. The talk was pretty good and presented in a relaxed style. Special mentions to Mark Mitchison and Peter Hawkins, both of whom would have been worthy winners. |

Jack explained the work concisely and gave excellent answers to questions. |
Arjav Trivedi | SPAT | Jon Marangos Winton Capital | The science was of a high quality and relevant to a practical understanding of the oceans.
