Advanced Materials (Physics & Astronomy) Industry day – 28th August 2025.
Where the School of Physics & Astronomy will showcase capabilities around Advanced Materials (organic semiconductors, 2D & Quantum materials, millimetre wavelength, imaging & sensing and nano photonics).
Whilst this may not fit entirely to your research area, it will be an opportunity to engage with industry, networks and stakeholders and consider potential alternative applications and collaborations for your research.
The day will include:
1) Talks from University theme leads, talks from selected companies and talks from external networks/funders.
2) Guided tours of key facilities
3) Plenty of time to network throughout the day.
Any questions or queries about the event please contact: Jayshree Johnstone [email protected]

April Pillar Meetings
Corrour Event On Monday 31st March we will be visited by Charlie Davis, Corrour Estate.
Charlie will give a talk 12-1pm in Jack Cole, Room 1.33A, (Computer Science). Corrour are keen to expand their research and links with the University and Charlie will share their current challenges and interests. These new areas of interest may include but are not limited to: sensing, data collection, software driven applications, improving communication across the estate (the environment is extremely harsh in that area), hydrocapacity and battery storage solutions. As well as continuing interests in sustainability, environmental science and biodiversity.
As part of our Energy and Materials Engineering External Seminars, Dr Cecil K. King’ondu will give a seminar on Thursday April 24th 14:00-15:00 entitled: Upcycling Conventional and Non-conventional Carbon Waste to Functional Materials for Energy Storage and Environmental Remediation.
Cecil is a Future Leaders African Independent Research (FLAIR) Fellow and Associate Professor, Department of Chemical and Forensic Sciences at Botswana International University of Science and Technology.
