We hope to see many of you in November when we celebrate 225 years of Old College (see page 6 for more details). This is an exciting time, with work starting on our redevelopment in the New Year. Alas, ambitious refurbishment does not come without some practical inconvenience and I am full of praise for our support staff who are working so hard to ensure life for our current students and academic staff will not be disrupted by the building work. I am confident that we can minimize those disruptions and continue to develop and thrive as a School. I am really grateful to all concerned for making it so. I also want to take this opportunity to welcome our new academic staff this semester. Dr Paolo Cavaliere joins us as the new Lecturer in Digital Media/IT Law.

I addition to research for my own thesis on integrating Husserlian phenomenology & predictive processing, I’m working with other members of the team, led by psychologist, David Carmel, on designing and implementing a series of experiments. These involve the use of TMS, eye-tracking and binocular rivalry, to test the relationship between prediction and conscious awareness. Previous Experience Grant writing and editing — 2016 - Present Assisting a senior lecturer at Imperial College London with grant applications for the development of a non-invasive ultrasound surgery system to deliver drugs across the Blood Brain Barrier. I have worked on applications to Alzheimer’s Research UK, the European Research Council, and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. The first application was recently awarded a grant of up to £250,000 after having been rejected at triage in its previous form, and the lead applicant described my work as, “critical in making the application successful” Contributing Editor, WIRED Magazine — 2014 - Present. Regularly write 4,000+ word features on topics ranging from genomic medicine, asteroid mining, and livestreaming, to the how the neuroscience of multisensory integration can inform the creation of richer virtual realities.

  • Physics at University of Edinburgh, Scotland

    Physics at University of Edinburgh, Scotland

    STUDY PHYSICS ABROAD JUNIOR YEAR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH Situated in a magnificent old city, the University of Edinburgh dates back to 1582. Home to an impressive castle, myriad bookstores and underground streets (‘closes’) well suited for exploring over the weekends, Edinburgh has the modern amenities of a big city like London, yet is compact enough to settle in and feel at home during a semester or year abroad. The department of Physics is housed in the James Clerk Maxwell building – conveniently located inside the building, the “The Magnet café” with a surrounding study area naturally forms the center of undergraduate Physics student life. As part of a research university which counts Charles Darwin and James Clerk Maxwell among its notable alumni, and physicist Peter Higgs (of the Higgs boson fame) among its Emeritus faculty, the department also takes its teaching mission very seriously as evidenced by its up-to-date teaching labs, small group tutorial classes and ample study space for undergraduates. The academic year at the University of Edinburgh consists of two semesters and there is very good overlap of core Physics courses with those offered at UCSB. For a semester abroad, it is recommended that you study abroad during the Fall quarter of the Junior year. This allows you to return for Winter quarter at UCSB to continue with the “B” part of multi-part core courses required for the B.S. degree such as Phys 115, and Phys 110. It is also strongly recommended that you take certain Junior year courses during your Sophomore year, in preparation for Study Abroad at Edinburgh during Junior year.
