Public Lecture: National Science & Engineering Week

The lecture, which takes place on Thursday 17th March, is led by Mathematics PhD student Niels Warburton.  Niels' research centres on modelling the ripples in spacetime emitted by massive black holes in galactic nuclei when they capture a neutron star or a smaller solar mass black hole. These models are required in order to extract interesting data from the future LISA spacecraft, a joint project of the European Space Agency and NASA.

Before the lecture attendees can take part in a number of interactive stands showcasing current research taking place at the University of Southampton and general science and engineering activities. Refreshments will also be provided free of charge.

This lecture forms part of the TEAtime public lecture series, aimed at connecting fundamental content of maths and science to current research being undertaken at University of Southampton.

Professor William Powrie, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering & Environment, comments `the TEAtime lecture series is a wonderful opportunity for those interested in science, maths or engineering to gain an understanding of the innovative and world-leading research undertaken at University of Southampton.'
