Almost 100 postgraduates presented their work at Physics PG Research Symposium on Tuesday 28th June.
Almost 100 postgraduates presented their work at Physics PG Research Symposium on Tuesday 28th June. Super massive black holes, plastic displays and quantum dots were just three of the topics covered. The PG Research Symposium, which was held for the first time this year, gives PhD students in the Physics department at Imperial College London, the unique opportunity to show case the world leading research effort that is carried out within the Department and share their research with a wide audience including over 50 industrial visitors.
Forty five third-year PhD students gave talks about their research at four parallel sessions. In the lunchtime poster session, forty eight second-year PhD students presented their posters. All members of the Physics Department and collaborating researchers were invited to attend the forum. Industrial sponsors, academics, researchers, technical and admin staff, and postgraduate students gathered together to celebrate our thriving post graduate research community. A team of specially selected judges from the College and industrial sponsors assessed the posters and presentations, and awarded prizes.
The day also presented an ideal occasion to welcome and thank the external supporters of our research work and to introduce them to some of the finest young scientific brains within the UK.
For external visitors to the department it was a great opportunity to network, recruit and gain closer links with the Department and the students that we train.
