The Department of Physics held a reception on 12 June 2019 to mark Professor Jo Haigh's retirement.
The party and presentation were preceded by a seminar, organised by her research group - Space and Atmospheric Physics. The speakers comprised past colleagues from several institutions and the reception was attended by friends, family and colleagues.
Professor Michele Dougherty expressed her thanks and appreciation on behalf of the Department, particularly noting Jo’s many outstanding achievements. Michele presented Jo with a free-standing sun dial for her garden, and a panoramic framed photograph of one of our special Blackett sunsets.
Thank you to Jo for all she has achieved during her time at Imperial College, within the Department of Physics, and also as Co-Director of The Grantham Institute and in the wider Imperial community!
