  • Meeting Reports
    AUGUST 2014 MEETING Speaker: Andrew Conacher Topic: Sir Humphry Davy – The Davy Lamp Andrew’s talk on Sir Humphry Davy was most engaging and enjoyable. He firstly spoke on Sir Humphry’s background and life and then focused on the Davy Lamp, its context and importance. Andrew indicated that he has an ancestral family connection to Sir Humphry. The following is a brief extract from Andrew’s paper. Sir Humphry was born on 17 December 1778 in Penzance, Cornwall, England and died 29 May 1829 in Geneva, Switzerland aged 50 years. A statue stands in Penzance with him holding his safety lamp. Andrew Conacher holds up miner’s safety lamps.

Through our Honors and Awards Program, we Orecognize and celebrate those individuals who have contributed such major advancements to the display industry. These contributions span specific technological and scientific advances, outstanding educational achievements, and notable service to the industry. Deciding the most deserving recipients for the various awards is no easy task. Each year, the Honors and Awards Committee accepts the challenge of select- ing and recommending recipients to the Executive Board for their approval. The Committee worked hard to maintain the highest standards in selecting the individuals being honored this year. On behalf of the society, I extend my deepest gratitude to my colleagues on the committee for all the tremendous dedication they have shown throughout this selection process. Finally, sincere congratulations to all of this year’s award recipients. Your efforts and innovation have brought recognition to yourselves, your organizations, and to the Society. It is an honor for us to present these awards to you.

    A STRUCTURAL AND SPECTROSCOPIC INVESTIGATION OF POLYFLUORENE COPOLYMERS IN SOLUTION AND THE SOLID STATE Robert Peter Stanley Experimental Solid State Physics Imperial College London A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2012 1 I dedicate this work to my parents Peter and Sue 2 Acknowledgements There are many people I would like to thank, and without each and every one of them this work would not be completed to the standard it is. The constant support from my parents Sue and Peter over the last seven years has meant I have been able to complete this work, which sometimes did not seem likely. My wonderful girlfriend Hannah has been a constant source of encouragement during my time writing up and I thank her hugely for that. Alasdair Campbell has been an exceptional supervisor without his knowledge and guidance I could not have completed this. Although it has taken longer than anyone had anticipated when I first set out on this PhD journey, his belief in my ability to complete it, and occasional suprise at things I had completed made it a pleasure. There have been many others in the Experimental Solid State Physics group at Imperial College who have helped me, both academically and personally. All those I worked and drank tea with in Huxley 724: Dan Farell, Jeremy Smith, Markus Fuhrer, Matt Lumb, Matt Ng, Clare Dyer- Smith, Peter Spencer, Justin Dane, Thomas Wellinger, Jarvist Frost and more. There were many people whose assistance consisted of more than just warm caffeinated beverages, namely Colin Belton, Joachim Steinke, Alex Guite, and Natasha Shirshova for their generous help with equipment and theory and of course Donal Bradley.
