Meet our students

Meet some of the students in the Department of Physics! Find out more about where they're from, why they chose to study physics at university, their reflections on our physics community here at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ, living in London, career aspirations and the best and most challenging aspects of their degree studies so far.

"We recently completed a course on Fourier Analysis. It was really tricky to understand at times, but it has so many interesting applications. Who would’ve thought that you could use maths to increase or decrease the resolution of a picture?"

Meet Rebekah

Linus Deluca-Perry

"My tutor was recently responsible for the discovery of phosphine within the atmosphere of Venus (a possible sign of life) and one of my lecturers is the principal investigator for the magnetometer for the Solar Orbiter satellite mission... two examples of exciting projects our Department is involved in."

Meet Linus

Inès Jimenez

"I'm considering a career in research and/or something related to climate change. For this reason, this summer I will be doing a research project (UROP) in the Atmospheric Physics group which will allow me to gain some experience in the field."

"Vector calculus is a very complicated and important topic but was taught so well and so clearly last year that it was easily my favourite lecture course. It satisfying to learn how electricity and magnetism link together and where the infamous Maxwell’s equations came from."

Regen Petu-Stiles

"So far, my favourite module has been Vector Calculus. It took the intersection of maths and intuition to a place I'd not seen before, and it lays the groundwork for topics such as electromagnetism. Extremely exciting."

"Practical Physics has been my favourite module because it is engaging and allows me to apply what I have learnt in the course. It is satisfying to see the theories agree with the observations and fun to work with others in lab."
