  • About Imperial College London
    About Imperial College London Overview Imperial College London is one of the world’s greatest universities, renowned for its ground- breaking research, talented community of staff, students and alumni and its international reach. With a mission to achieve enduring excellence in research and education in science, engineering, medicine and business for the benefit of society, the College was founded in 1907 in South Kensington, bringing together nineteenth century institutions including the Royal College of Science, Royal School of Mines and City and Guilds College. Today Imperial collaborates extensively with neighbouring institutions, including the Royal College of Art and the Royal College of Music. From its location in this great cultural quarter, Imperial provides one of the world’s best educations in STEM subjects for more than 18,400 students, over half of whom come from overseas, reflecting its status as the UK’s most international university. Imperial has three academic faculties – Engineering, Medicine, and Natural Sciences – and the Imperial College Business School, as well as a significant number of interdisciplinary research centres focusing on challenging world problems. The College’s mission is supported by over 8,000 diverse staff, who collaborate in the UK and internationally, often across disciplines. In 2017-2018 the College had a total turnover of over £1 billion, of which £364.2 million directly supported research through grants and contracts. The College’s 2015-2020 Strategy is built on the foundations that make Imperial a strong academic institution and the talented and inspirational people who make up its community. The College’s success is recognised all over the world, as is evidenced by daily coverage of Imperial discoveries and innovations in the international media and claims many distinguished members, including 14 Nobel laureates, three Fields Medallists, and members of the Royal Further Particulars: Lecturer / Senior Lecturer in Statistics 1 Society and National Academies.

    NASA'S MICROGRAVITY RESEARCH PROGRAM NASA/TM - 2000-210615 NationalAeronauticsand SpaceAdministration GeorgeC.MarshallSpaceFlightCenter MarshallSpaceFlightCenter,Alabama35812 • !;i_:!¸ i • Onthe frontcover... In FY 99, the microgravity biotechnology pro- gram investigated the structure of macromolecules through Earth- and space-grown crystals and con- ducted experiments in tissue engineering and basic cellular functions both in ground laboratories and in orbit. These cells were isolated from cartilage grown on Russian Space Station Mh'. Gray areas (green on cover) indicate the presence of estaserase, a key metabolic enzyme. Discovering how processing affects the structure and properties of materials is the focus of the materi- als science discipline. A microgravity environment allows a simpler view of the relationship of process- ing to structure. Several experiments have been con- ducted and are planned for investigating the formation of dendrites, a common microstructure in metals. This dendrite of pivalic acid was formed during a microgravity shuttle mission. The study of combustion science in microgravity contributes to the basic understanding of the com- bustion process and of how to prevent and control burning on Earth and in space. This photo was taken during an experiment on candle flames that took place on Mir. Fluid physicists participate in the microgravity program to understand the fundamentals of fluid behavior under various conditions. Microgravity experiments investigating liquid drops have con- tributed to our knowledge of microscopic and macroscopic processes, from the way atomic nuclei undergo fission to how planets are formed. This photo was taken during a drop experiment conducted on the space shuttle. Physicists use a microgravity environment to help them discover and understand the laws govern- ing our universe.

    FELIX THE NEWSPAPER OF IMPERIAL COLLEGE UNION Friday 16th May 1980 Issue No. 553 President of ICWA shocks AGM A new President was ratified at last Tuesday's ICWA AGM. Sandra O'Sullivan was the only candidate for the post of President and so won the election. However, in a speech to the meeting she said that in her opinion ICWA has failed. Sandra said that she would not get rid of ICWA but would just make it clear to the girls at IC how little ICWA does for them. Sandra said that she would not sit on any committees and this could lead to an attempt by other members of ICWA to remove her from the position. This year's President said, "It's just a bit rediculous but all the rest of the committee are very keen - we will continue anyway. It doesn't matter about the President." " Last years ICU President, Mary Attenborough, joked that she might as well stand for Chairman of the Conservative Society. (Mary is known for her political affilations to political groups other than the Conservatives and if she was elected CONSOC chairman she considered that it would be equally rediculous). Roger Stotesbury commented that Sandra The new ICWA President was the only candidate, who stood in the ICWA elections,who actually bothered to come to the meeting. Sandra O'Sullivan "It just shows that ICWA cannot survive if there is no interest," he said. RCS AGM Last Tuesday's RCS Annual General Meeting managed to elect an Assistant Honorary Secretary, Jane Lavers, and ratified the folio wing posts: Ents Chairman— Dave Thompson; Publicity Officer — Caroline Godin.
