cicass undergraduates have had an amazing
year. Both the group's honours project students
scored First Class honours classif-ications in their
final degrees & both also published their project
results at prestigious international conferences:
Matt (pictured left) presented a paper on the
development of Breath Figure Films at the IEEE
Engineering in Medicine and Biology meeting in
Vancouver, Canada. To boot, Matt's honours
project was also voted within the top 3 of all
Materials related honours projects in the UK at
this years SET awards.

Advanced Higher Physics project in the CICaSS
BATCavE Lab, has achieved an amazing 2nd
place nationally for her performance in AH
Physics in 2008. Megan also scored a
maximum 25/25 for her project work, and is
now set to receive a further award from the
IoP in recognition of her superb effort.

Professor Sascha Hilgenfeldt (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
visited the group during March in his capacity as visiting professor for our
present Basic Technology grant. During this time, Sascha gave a fascinating
colloquium entitled 'Foams, Flies and Functionals', during which he
demonstrated the incredible power of energy minimisation methods inspired
by evolving foam structures, to model the geometry of epithelial tissue in the
eye of the fruit fly. Sascha's work drew a broad audience of biologists,
engineers, geneticists and physicists, and was of such a stimulating
standard that it led to a 25 minute Q & A session afterwards, - a new record!

Paul Campbell has won two prestigious awards for collaborative work with Japanese researchers.
In December, PC received the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Fellowship, which will
facilitate extended research visits to several leading institutions specialising in therapeutic
ultrasound, and including the world-renowned groups of Katsuro Tachibana (Fukuoka) & Takashi
Kondo (Toyama). This endeavour has now been bolstered with a 2-year Royal Society
International Collaboration Award that will allow extended bi-lateral travel and collaboration.

GMTV gossip queen Lorraine Kelly joined the CICaSS team in
May to make a short documentary about the many pioneering
scientific and industrial breakthroughs that have been driven
by uniquely Scottish ingenuities. The film, which was shot
entirely on location in the group's BATCavE laboratory, focused
attention on the activities of a local inventor, James Bowman
Lindsay, who was a contemporary of Michael Faraday, and
who may, amongst several other key discoveries, have been
the first person to conceive of the incandescent light in its
modern form.

New recruits: Dr Charlie Main
(right), who clearly savours the
freedom of the Balearics more than
most, has joined CICaSS as Deputy
Head of Group. Charlie will be giving
our modelling efforts a welcome boost.
He is joined by new PhD student,
Michael Conneely, who is undertaking
a project jointly supervised by Drs
David McGloin & Paul Campbell.
