Congratulations go out to all our new graduates, especially to Laura O’Donnell BSc who was awarded the prize for the best BSc physics final year project.

Laura’s project in the Optical Manipulation Group was supervised by Prof. Kishan Dholakia and Dr Graham Bruce (pictured).

Her project was focused on “Multiple wavelength measurements with a speckle-based wavemeter” and builds on our previous work on sub-femtometre resolved speckle-based wavemeters.
