Mitacs Globalink Research Project in Canada

One of our final year students took part in a  Mitacs Globalink Research Internship last summer. This is a competitive initiative for international undergraduates, which we advertise every year. Here is their story: I originally applied to the program following an advertising email from the university in the summer of 2020, thinking I will never get it because I am not the best physicist. Later during the application process I was interviewed, where they discussed what they wanted me to do during the project. Originally the project involved me travelling to Canada, to do organic semiconductor fabrication and research. However, due to covid, the project was turned virtual. During the internship, I was investigating a proposed mechanism for doping of organic semiconductor, because the proposed mechanism is not energetically feasible. So I had to generate a model of various different doping molecules and organic semiconductors to go through the mechanism to see if any of the steps could b

International Women's Day 2022 #BreakTheBias

  International Women's Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. This year we are called upon to  #BreakTheBias . From the International Women's Day 2022 website:  "Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women's equality. Collectively we can all  #BreakTheBias. " On 8 March we had a fantastic panel ( Cheyenne Polius , Fiona Turner , Gillian Gehring , Lee Kenny and Steph Edwards ) to talk around the IWD2022 theme of Break The Bias. The panel members came from a wide range of industries and backgrounds, and it was really exciting that we were able to bring all this different expertise and perspective into the department.   We know that gender bias and inequali

Sharp Laboratories of Europe (SLE) (www.sle.sharp.co.uk) is an integral part of Sharp Corporation of Japan. At SLE research is conducted into future generations of display technology, an area in which Sharp Corporation is a world market leader. The available 12 month placement is for a physicist to join a small and innovative team, part of a larger, inter-disciplinary displays group. The post may involve fabrication and characterisation of novel devices for use in flat panel displays (LCD and OLED), test and measurement of optical components, optical modelling/simulation and image data processing. The post requires someone with a strong interest in applied research and good practical skills. The successful applicant will be self-motivated and able to understand and contribute to a research project quickly. The post offers an excellent opportunity to develop an up-to-date knowledge of the display technology, acquire transferable skills and learn how research is performed in the
