Matthew McGuigan, BSc, MSc.

Myself and the rest of the committee are organising another ambitious conference with speakers from Met Office, various universities and various observatories.

I was kindly awarded a travel bursary from Nottingham Trent University and presented at their Smart Industry Robotics and Automation Workshop.

Improving surface normal vectors from Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) has been the primary focus of my PhD. However, I have intermittently spent some time developing 3D models

I attended the CASTEP electron microscopy training workshop at Oxford University. I refreshed my knowledge on solid state physics and enjoyed being updated on current research.

This summer I will present at the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Annual Meeting (AN18) in Portland, Oregon, US. My abstract can be found here and on the SIAM website.

This summer I will attend the European Study Group with Industry (ESGI) 141 in at University College Dublin, Ireland. This workshop takes place on 25-29th of June.

I am Outreach officer for Space Exe at Exeter University, who organised a spectacular conference with speakers from Met Office, Goonhilly Earth Station & UK ambassador for NASA’s OSIRIS REx.

I entered a photograph into the Exeter University Optics and Photonics Society Photography competition and won the Audience Favourite prize.
