To celebrate research undertaken by our community of over 350 Research Fellows, the Research Staff Office has launched a series of new Spotlight profiles.
The new initiative highlights the research achievements and ambitions of Research Fellows from across Sussex.
“Both insightful and enjoyable to read, these profiles offer a glimpse into the extraordinary research undertaken at Sussex.” - Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research), Professor Michael Davies
The Spotlight profiles have been developed by Researcher Development Coordinator, Kirsty Bridger, who conducted informal interviews over the summer with Research Fellows from disciplines ranging from pharmaceutical manufacturing and quantum computing to nuclear policy, astronomy, antibiotic resistance and vocal modulation.
The initial set of profiles are now available on the Spotlight webpages. New profiles will be added to the site on a rolling basis, so if you would like your work profiled, or would like to suggest a Research Fellow for Spotlight please email researchstaffoffice@sussex.ac.uk
