Photon Science Research Institute
Membership
Unlike other Institutes currently supported by STFC, in its current form the PSRI is not aligned with any one University, or group of Universities. Membership will be open to all UK academics who wish to exploit the next generation of light sources, and who are willing to help the Institute fulfil its remits. Please contact Professor Justin Wark for further details (justin.wark@physics.ox.ac.uk).
Governance of the Institute
The day-to-day operation of the Institute will be carried out by the Board, which will report to a Governing Body (which will also oversee the NLS).
Board
- Professor Justin Wark (Chief Scientist of the Institute) (University of Oxford)
- Professor Jon Marangos (Imperial College, and Leader of the NLS Project)
- Professor Andrea Cavalleri (University of Oxford/Max Planck Institute Hamburg)
- Dr Jonathan Underwood (UCL)
- Professor Louise Johnson (Diamond Light Source Ltd/University of Oxford)
- Professor Wendy Flavell (University of Manchester)
- Professor Swapan Chattopadhyay (The Cockcroft Institute)
The Board of the Institute will continue to assess its need for the necessary expertise to fulfil its remit during the ongoing consultation exercise.
Membership of the Governing Body
- Tim Wess (Chair - representing the PALS scientific advisory board)
- Mike Dunne (Director, STFC Photon Science Department)
- Gerd Materlik (CEO, Diamond Light Source Ltd)
- John Womersley (Director, STFC Science and Technology Strategy)
- Robert Donovan (STFC)
- Professor Nigel Scrutton (University of Manchester)
- Professor Ian Walmsley (University of Oxford)
- Professor Malcolm Mahon (University of Edinburgh)
- Frances Quinn (STFC)
- Richard Walker (Diamond Light Source Ltd)
- Tracy Turner (STFC)
- Mike Poole (STFC)
- Peter Weightman (University of Liverpool )
It is expected that Professor Jon Marangos (NLS Project Leader) and Professor Justin Wark (PSRI Chief Scientist) will attend meetings of the Governing Body to report on the progress of the NLS and PSRI respectively.
This same Governing Body will also oversee the NLS project.
