Tessella Prize for Software at University College London

Friday, November 12th, 2010

Each year Tessella sponsors prizes within the physics departments of several top universities. A prize is awarded, by each university, to the student who makes the most effective use of software in their final year physics projects.

This year, at the University College London (UCL),  Jake Stinson was awarded the prize for the quantitative description of  laser-driven actuation of nanomechanical resonators, cantilevers and work on a theoretical and numerical model for the lasercontrolled temperature in a cantilever and its effect on the cantilever bending.

I had the honour today of handing the Tessella Prize for Software (Best use of software in final year Physics/Astronomy projects) to Jake Stinson. Jake was awarded the prize for the
quantitative description for laser-driven actuation of nanomechanical resonators/cantilevers
and work on a theoretical/numerical model for the lasercontrolled temperature in a cantilever
and its effect on the cantilever bending.

Jake will continue working at UCL to obtain his PhD working on sulfuric acid formation, heat reflection and persistence in the atmosphere.
