Award-winning research into dark energy
Hear from Clare Burrage
Meet Professor Clare Burrage who was recognised for her research into dark energy in the universe with a young scientist award from the Blavatnik Family Foundation and the New York Academy of Sciences. She was awarded the Laureate in Physical Sciences & Engineering.
Professor Burrage examines cosmology, dark energy, modified gravity, and new physics. She was recognised for theoretical predictions that have guided the development of entirely new experiments to probe the nature of dark energy, in a compact, laboratory setting.
Brain scanner innovation
Innovation in medical physics
Another leading physicist here at Nottingham is Professor Matt Brookes. His research is focused on the development and application of multi-modal functional brain imaging. Watch the video to find out more about his work in developing a new generation of brain scanner.
You know how it works.
You know that it should work.
You know why it should work.
But when it does... I think that's truly amazing.
