Prof. John C. Travers has been awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies, a major research fellowship, providing ten years of underpinning support (£2.5m) to work on new technologies with great potential. His work will be focused on producing practical high-brightness and ultrafast far-ultraviolet, X-ray and electron beams. More information can be found here.

We are thrilled to share that professor of physics at Heriot-Watt University and director of LUPO, John C. Travers has been named as the recipient of the A F Harvey Engineering Research Prize - the Institution of Engineering and Technology’s (IET) most prestigious award.
