The European Union Horizon Europe (with joint funding from UK Research Innovation) has awarded the NetZeroAICT Consortium major funding to develop a novel technology with great potentials to promote climate neutral and sustainable health care.
Three of those awarded grants are from MPLS Division: Fabrizio Caola, Associate Professor of Theoretical Particle Physics in the Department of Physics; Aleks Kissinger, Associate Professor of Quantum Computing in the Department of Computer Science; and Siddharth Parameswaran, Professor of Theoretical Physics in the Department of Physics
Backed by over \u00a315 million funding, the new UKRI AI Centre for Doctoral Training in AI for the Environment (The Intelligent Earth Centre) will combine the University\u2019s strengths in artificial intelligence, machine learning, Big Data, and environmental sciences.
Dr Sebastian K\u00f6hler is among seven researchers awarded postdoctoral research grants by the Government Office for Science and administered by the Royal Academy of Engineering. The fellowships focus on areas of cutting edge unclassified basic research that can support the intelligence, security and defence communities.
Professor Harrison Steel\u2019s group in the Department of Engineering Science, the only international member of a cross-disciplinary team led by Harvard Medical School, will scale up existing technologies and translate them to clinical use to support the global fight against antimicrobial resistance
The Focused Ultrasound Foundation has designated the University of Oxford a Centre of Excellence in Focused Ultrasound. Oxford becomes the fifth Centre of Excellence in Europe and the eleventh worldwide. The recognition coincides with the University of Oxford\u2019s celebration of Focused Ultrasound Day.
Two MPLS projects have received a major funding boost from the Faraday Institution, the UK\u2019s flagship institute for electrochemical energy storage research. The funding is part of a \u00a319 million investment to support key battery research projects that have the potential to deliver significant beneficial impact for the UK.
Today (7 September 2023) the UK and the EU have successfully reached an agreement allowing the UK to re-join the EU\u2019s \u00a385bn science research programme Horizon Europe as an associate member.
ERC Starting Grants are part of the Horizon Europe programme and support early-career researchers who demonstrate great promise. Projects span all disciplines of research, from medicine and physics, to social sciences and humanities. All four awarded to Oxford University this year have been made to MPLS researchers.
The University of Oxford will continue to offer Formula 1 Engineering Scholarships to talented undergraduate students from under-represented backgrounds until 2025. The successful scholarship programme sees Formula 1 support two students each year for the duration of their degrees.
A multi-institutional team will explore a new method for creating fusion power it hopes could eventually be scaled to provide safe, clean, and abundant energy.
The first Maryam Mirzakhani Scholar, Marta Bucca, will join Oxford's Mathematics Institute in October. Launched in memory of the Iranian mathematician, the scholarship has been generously supported by founding and principal donor XTX Markets.
