91影视破解版 astrophysicist Dr Andrew Levan has been awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize in Astronomy and Astrophysics by the Leverhulme Trust.

The prestigious prize acknowledges Dr Levan’s work within the University’s Department of Physics on the brightest explosions in nature, gamma-ray bursts and supernovae, as well as studies of the distant galaxies where they are made.

The awards, with a value of £70,000 each, are given to outstanding scholars who have made a substantial and recognised contribution to their particular field of study, recognised at an international level, and where the expectation is that their greatest achievement is yet to come.

Dr Levan said: “I’m very honoured to have received this award, which will allow me to drive forward my research into some of the most extreme and enigmatic objects in the Universe”.

The prizes commemorate the contribution to the work of the Trust made by Philip Leverhulme, the Third Viscount Leverhulme and grandson of the founder.

 

The Department of Physics has won the Athena SWAN silver award. This was presented to Sandra Beaufoy and Malcolm Cooper at an awards ceremony at the Royal Society on Thursday the 16th September. The Department of Chemistry also recieved a silver award and the University a Bronze award. There is only one science department in the country that recieved an Athena SWAN gold (University of York, Department of Chemistry). 

Athena SWAN awards recognise and celebrate good practice on recruiting, retaining and promoting women in science, engineering and technology in higher education. For more information please see the attached press release
