A conversation with our new Regius Prof of Materials
Our partners 4th October 2016
Hello all. Thanks for joining me for the 25th episode of #MondayMaterials, featuring Professor Philip Withers. Phil was officially named as our inaugural Regius Professor of Materials by Her Majesty the Queen this weekend, so we couldn’t think of a better person to be talking to on this chilly Monday morning.
On top of that amazing honour, Phil is also Director of the BP International Centre for Advanced Materials, Director of the Henry Moseley X-ray Imagining Facility, and Interim Chief Science Director of the Sir Henry Royce Institute for Advanced Materials. So it’s fair to say he’s a pretty busy man. I’m more than a little pleased that he could make the time to talk for us.
Hi Phil. Thanks so much for talking to us. We’ll start with the easy one: Can you please describe your research, for the layman, in ten sentences or less?
