Professor Alan Lindsay Greer visited the Department from 24 to 28 July 2023. Professor Greer provided holistic and strategic academic advice on the Department's programmes: Bachelor of Science - Physics, MSc in Applied Physics and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).
Professor Greer is a Professor of Materials Science at the University of Cambridge and a distinguished scholar in the field of metallic glasses. He was appointed as Departmental Academic Advisor (DAA) of Physics since academic year 2019/2020.
By meeting with Head of the Department of Physics, faculty members and student representatives, he gained a deeper understanding of the Department's developments, as well as conducting an on-site review of the department’s academic functions, covering all aspects from teaching and learning to research and knowledge transfer.
Professor Greer also delivered a Distinguished Seminar at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) on 27 July 2023.
The DAA Visit was a fruitful and rewarding experience for both Professor Greer and the members of the Department. We would like to thank Professor Greer for his valuable contributions and feedback.
