Transforming Thoughts into Actions

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)
Laboratory of Molecular Biology
How does the brain transform what we perceive into what we do? Even a simple action, such as stopping at a red light and moving again when it turns green, requires the brain to select relevant sensory information, form an intention, prepare an appropriate movement and execute it at the right moment.

Neuropeptide networks in worms and octopus

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)
Laboratory of Molecular Biology
In recent years, great efforts have been made to map the synaptic wiring diagrams of simple and complex nervous systems. However, chemical synapses, the connections used in most connectomics research, represent only one type of functionally important signalling between neurons. Read more

Pathological protein assembly in neurodegenerative diseases

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)
Laboratory of Molecular Biology
Neurodegenerative diseases are one of the greatest health challenges facing our society. This large group of diseases is characterised by the pathological assembly of specific proteins into amyloid filaments in the central nervous system. Read more

Connectomics across sexes, species and states

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)
Laboratory of Molecular Biology
Neuroscience in the fly and beyond is being transformed by the availability of connectomes, synaptic resolution wiring diagrams. We have played leading roles in two large collaborations that have recently generated and analysed separate (female) brain and (male) nerve cord connectomes for the fly. Read more

Spin and superradiance in General Relativity

University of Sheffield
School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences
  Research Group: Applied Mathematics
In General Relativity, bodies in freefall follow geodesics in spacetime. For example, the Earth follows a geodesic in the spacetime of the Sun, to a good approximation. Read more

Spacetime emergence and cosmological dynamics in group field theory

University of Sheffield
School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences
  Research Group: Applied Mathematics
Many theories of quantum gravity agree that the spacetime geometry of Einstein’s general relativity needs to be replaced by a different underlying structure. Read more

Searching for Triple Higgs Boson Production with the ATLAS Experiment at the CERN LHC

University of Sheffield
School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences
  Research Group: Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics
It's widely believed that the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is an incomplete theory. The 125 GeV Higgs boson, discovered by the CERN ATLAS and CMS Experiments, is a crucial probe for physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) of particle physics. Read more

Backreaction of quantum fields on black hole space-times

University of Sheffield
School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences
  Research Group: Applied Mathematics
In classical general relativity, Einstein’s equations involve the curvature of space-time on the left-hand-side, and the stress-energy tensor of matter on the right-hand-side. Read more

Computational modelling of two-dimensional graphene-based materials

University of Sheffield
School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences
  Research Group: Light Matter Interations
Graphene is a novel material with outstanding electronic and mechanical properties. Chemical modification of graphene gives rise to new materials, such as graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide, with properties very distinct from graphene and with possible applications in photocatalysis and batteries.
