Queen Mary Grant Wins Spring 2011

Spring 2011

Grant Wins “This is a Collaborative Doctoral Award for a project on the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona.

The award allows a student to investigate the ways in which the rebuilt Liceu has branded itself in the city and beyond since it reopening in 1999. The success of the Liceu offers a useful model for opera companies in the UK and elsewhere in Europe who are considering their relationship to their environment and what it means to ‘sell’ opera in the twenty-first century.”

Current designs of invisible cloak are based on a technique called ‘transformation optics’. It requires materials with extreme properties that do not exist in nature, hence, is difficult to implement in practice.

However, the theory of ‘transformation optics’ offers a useful design tool for antenna engineers, and enables them to develop novel antennas.”
