We are delighted that former group PhD student, Jennifer Graham, has been awarded the 2025 Don McKenzie Paul Thesis Prize for her thesis and “her groundbreaking contributions to the study of frustrated magnets using neutron polarization analysis combined with novel data analysis methodologies and synthesis techniques, and especially for her discovery of a spiral spin liquid phase in LiYbO2.”
The UK Neutron Scattering Group awards the Don McKenzie Paul Thesis Prize on the joint behalf of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Institute of Physics. It is awarded every two years in recognition of an outstanding PhD thesis in which the use or development of neutron scattering is instrumental in addressing a current scientific challenge.
Jen’s Prize was announced at the 2025 UK Neutron and Muon Science and User Meeting at the University of Warwick. Jen will give her Prize Lecture at the 2025 Theoretical and Experimental Magnetism Meeting at Cosener’s House in June. Congratulations Jen!
