Sam Patrick Awarded Stephen Hawking Fellowship

We are thrilled to announce that QSimFP postdoc Sam Patrick has been awarded the prestigious Stephen Hawking Fellowship. This highly competitive fellowship supports innovative research in theoretical physics and closely related fields, reflecting Stephen Hawking's ground-breaking contributions to science and role as a science populariser.

During the fellowship, Sam will focus on advancing the modelling of wave-vortex interactions in liquid helium, building on recent experimental breakthroughs by the Nottingham and Royal Holloway groups in QSimFP. In addition to research, the fellowship emphasizes public engagement, and Sam will collaborate with the UK National Quantum Technology Programme to create a series of videos showcasing some of the most exciting advancements in quantum technology. These videos will be featured in our Art-Science exhibition next year. Follow Sam's journey on Instagram @realtimesci to stay updated.
