EPSRC has awarded a grant of £360K to Professor Feo V Kusmartsev, Dr Sergei Saveliev and V Antonov to work on Semiconducting and Superconducting Nano-Devices to control Terahertz Radiation.
EPSRC Advanced Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for Dr Dmitry Gulevich on Fluxon based superconducting electronics, 1 Oct 2007 – 30 Sept 2010
New lecturer, Dr Dmitry Gulevich, and Professor F V Kusmartsev have received a grant of £100K from the Enterprise Fund, to work on the development of the new superconducting technology "Fluxonic devices". The duration of the grant is from 1 Nov 2006 to 31 Jan 2009.
Congratulations to postgraduate student Dmitry Gulevich for winning third prize in the Cavendish Medal competition for outstanding research by young physicists. He presented a poster on his work "The Hurricanes of the Josephson Rings" at the SET for Britain Reception in the House of Commons. Photo and News release. Highlights of the research education
in the Physics Department at Loughborough may be found in the Russian
journal Atomic Strategy XXI N4(18), p. 28. August (2005).
