Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Women in Physics

We are a group of passionate people whose aim is to support people from all intersectionalities. We look to inspire and motivate female and other minority researchers in the Physics & Astronomy Department at University College London. The group is open to all genders!

The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Women in Physics group began in 2006 and has run continuously since 2014, and is currently led by PhD student Fern Pannell.

What do we do?

We hold a range of events to widen our community and represent and celebrate women in physics!Ìý These events include*:Ìý

Fern Pannell WIP

Hello, my name is Fern Pannell, and I am a PhD student in the High Energy Physics (HEP) group at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø, and I also completed my 4-year MSci Physics degree here too! I am the coordinator of the Women in Physics group here at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø.

Abbie Bray

Spotlight on Abbie Bray

Abbie C. Bray is a PhD student in Physics and Astronomy, former Co-Ordinator of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Women in Physics (WiP) Group and Co–Organiser of the Atto Fridays Seminar Series. Abbie's PhD is on Strong Field physics, in particular Attosecond science, and she is a theoretician. 

Amelie Saintonge

Professor - Amelie Saintonge

My research programme is centered around the question of what regulates the growth and evolution of galaxies. In particular, I use radio telescope to make a census of the cold gas contents of large sample of galaxies; understanding when, where and how galaxies efficiently form stars out of gas is key in identifying the mechanism driving their evolution.

 

Veera Mikola

PhD Student - Veera Mikola

I work on two experiments: DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) and NoVA (Numi Off-Axis νe Appearance). Nova is a currently running neutrino oscillation experiment, whereas DUNE is a future experiment currently being built, and will use new technologies (namely liquid argon TPCs) in its detectors.

Being part of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø is a unique experience which I would gladly recommend to any aspiring female physicist who wishes for the best quality of education and a fantastic social life adventure allowing you to expand your horizons and create relationships that will last!
