Great food, sunny skies & even better company! DMG's summer picnic brought together our international team for a potluck feast, good chats & a celebration of our recent wins. Yes. British weather did cooperate!

Giuliana attends the kickoff meeting for the Materials for Smarter AUTOnomous sensors (MASAUTO) Marie Curie Doctoral research training program. An exciting opportunity to discuss  the activities within the areas of Energy Harvesting, Energy Storage and Processing Electronics.

Today we celebrated PhD student Mr Atif Jan, who successfully passed his viva, with a special group lunch. All enjoyed together bubbly sparkling juice, fruits and snacks in the tearoom.

Wasim Akram, a senior PhD student from School of Physics, IISER TVM, India and in the research group of Assistant Professor Tuhin Maity is currently in Cambridge as a visiting researcher on a collaborative project with Dr Giuliana Di Martino. He’s making the most of his time in the UK and is enjoying the opportunity to work in such a vibrant academ…

We celebrated the end of the year with a festival of lights at the Cambridge University Botanic Garden. Not bad for a group studying light!

Di Martino Lab is awarded the LEAF bronze certificate in recognition of exemplary actions undertaken to improve the sustainability practices as part of the laboratory efficiency assessment framework (LEAF).

Our PhD student Atif Jan has just concluded his visit to our collaborator Prof Tuhin Maity IISER-TVM (India). The collaborative project is funded by the Royal Society International Exchange Programme. He gave an excellent talk and enjoyed a very fruitful experience.

An interview was published, which appeared on a newspaper following Dr Giuliana Di Martino's Imperial Alumni Award called "Wow science - highs and lows of a life in physics".

Congratulations to Dr Giuliana Di Martino on being awarded a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (IOP). She has now the opportunity to take on a leading role and will continue to act as an ambassador, supporting the IOP to promote the value of physics to society and to inspire others to study, work and excel in physics.

The Alumni Awards of the Imperial College London recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements of their alumni community and the variety of ways they are making a real impact across the globe. Now in their fifth year, the awards recognise exceptional professional and academic achievements in three categories and present an opportunity for th…

Congratulations to DMG Head, Dr Giuliana Di Martino, on being elected a Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining (IoM3). This is a fantastic achievement and recognition for Giuliana’s stellar contributions to the field of materials science.

It is with great pleasure that we share the news of the prestigious Institute of Physics Lee Lucas Business Award being given to Sohini and the ArtioSense team.ArtioSense Limited, a spin-out from the University of Cambridge, has been awarded this prize forthe development of novel microfluidics-based force sensing technology for addressing a key unm…
