Congratulations to Ignasi Simon Grau for being awarded "la Caixa" Postgraduate Fellowship Abroad. The fellowship was awarded by none other than the King and Queen of Spain (pictured here with Ignasi and his family).

A lovely 1st trip to ISIS Neutron and Muon Source for me. Don't expect it to be the last!

Very nice to be featured in this write up of our recent neutron scattering experiment. Researchers from UoM Materials Henry Royce Institute and Science at Sheffield working together along with the help of Greg Smith

Excellent 2 day meeting with my research family. Amazing to see how well and all the interesting things everyone is doing.
