Current research activity across the Norwich Research Park includes a number of projects involving physics research. Listed below are some examples of such projects, together with links to staff home pages.
David Andrews leads research on fundamental molecular photonics and energy transport, optomechanical forces and nonlinear optical phenomena. The current focus of his research group is on novel mechanisms for optical nanomanipulation and switching, and light-harvesting in nanostructured molecular systems. Professor Andrews is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, the Royal Society of Chemistry, and the SPIE; he is Chair of the SPIE Nanotechnology Technical Group and of the RSC Molecular Spectroscopy Group.
Research interests are: high resolution spectroscopy especially of transient species.
My research interest is in investigating nanostructured systems, from their basic physical and chemical mechanisms of synthesis, through their optical and electronic properties, to biological and medical applications.
Dr Cooker's research is in the mathematics of water-wave motion. He is especially interested in modelling the violent flows associated with impact on the coast such as wave breaking on beaches and the splashes made by waves colliding with seawalls.
My research interest includes interaction of matter with light, currently the Nanostructures and Photomolecular Systems group are researching optical binding and optical forces on micro and nanostructures.
My research interests include earthquake physics and seismic imaging of the Earth's deep interior.
My research interests are in physics education; more specifically, understanding of magnetic fields, linguistics in physics and professional development. I currently supervise project students working on applications of muon spectroscopy, characteristics of bar galaxies and probing interstellar medium.
Research Interests: Ultrafast lasers, nonlinear optics, molecular dynamics, and complex fluids.
My research interests include the investigation of the energy balance of the Earth, and how variations in solar insolation and scattering by volcanic aerosols may have affected the Earth's climate over the last 1000 years.
I carry out research in physics of the weather systems and the climate system.
