Announcement of the Department of Materials Annual PG Research Day winners
Each year in March the Department of Materials invites all members of the Department and collaborating researchers to the Materials PG Research Day. They take part in a one-day scientific meeting with a programme of oral presentations by 3rd year PhD students interspersed with poster sessions by 2nd year PhD students. Prizes are awarded to the best contributions.
This is a great opportunity for our PhD students to showcase their work in front of colleagues and for undergraduates, industrial sponsors and collaborators to learn more about the research conducted in Materials Science and Engineering at Imperial.
