°×С½ãÂÛ̳ Women in Physics
The °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Women in Physics group began in 2006 and has run continuously since 2014, and is currently led by PhD student Fern Pannell.

Women in Physics Student & Staff profiles:
Hello, my name is Fern Pannell, and I am a PhD student in the High Energy Physics (HEP) group at °×С½ãÂÛ̳, and I also completed my 4-year MSci Physics degree here too! I am the coordinator of the Women in Physics group here at °×С½ãÂÛ̳.
Spotlight on Abbie Bray
Abbie C. Bray is a PhD student in Physics and Astronomy, former Co-Ordinator of the °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Women in Physics (WiP) Group and Co–Organiser of the Atto Fridays Seminar Series. Abbie's PhD is on Strong Field physics, in particular Attosecond science, and she is a theoretician.
Professor - Amelie Saintonge
My research programme is centered around the question of what regulates the growth and evolution of galaxies. In particular, I use radio telescope to make a census of the cold gas contents of large sample of galaxies; understanding when, where and how galaxies efficiently form stars out of gas is key in identifying the mechanism driving their evolution.
PhD Student - Veera Mikola
I work on two experiments: DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) and NoVA (Numi Off-Axis νe Appearance). Nova is a currently running neutrino oscillation experiment, whereas DUNE is a future experiment currently being built, and will use new technologies (namely liquid argon TPCs) in its detectors.
Undergraduate Student - Maria Avramidou
Being part of °×С½ãÂÛ̳ is a unique experience which I would gladly recommend to any aspiring female physicist who wishes for the best quality of education and a fantastic social life adventure allowing you to expand your horizons and create relationships that will last!
