Top prize forcutting-edge innovation.Stem-cell concentratorSouthampton researchers have won a prestigious national prize at The EngineerTechnology and Innovation Awards for developing a medical device that can isolatestem cells to mend fractures. Known as the orthopaedic stem-cell concentrator, thedevice could improve the success of surgery for hard-to-heal fractures.The orthopaedic stem-cell concentrator produces concentrated stem cells from bonemarrow samples taken during surgery, which are then reintroduced to aid the healingprocess of fractures. It came out top in two categories, winning both the MedicalTechnology award and the Grand Prix award for technology, innovation andcollaboration. It was developed by scientists at the University of Southampton andmedical device manufacturer Smith & Nephew, in collaboration with clinicians atSouthampton University Hospitals NHS Trust.Project leader Richard Oreffo, Professor of Musculoskeletal Science at Southampton,comments: “This invention was developed by a truly collaborative partnershipbetween stem-cell biologists, clinicians and engineers. It could transform orthopaedicpractice once successfully applied in hospital operating theatres, helping patientsrecover from severe fractures more effectively.”For more information, visit www.southampton.ac.uk/stemcell

Income and PensionsWe investigate how income (dis)advantage accumulatesacross older people’s lifetimes, along with the role that thewelfare state has played in reducing or perpetuating suchinequalities (eg UK, Germany, Sweden and the USA), andexamine pensions among groups with interrupted workhistories and caring obligations, and among young people.Paid Work and Informal CaringWe look at the complex relationship between health,caring and employment, with many people juggling paidwork and caring responsibilities while still supporting theirown children. We investigate the relationship betweenmultiple-role responsibilities and quality-of-life indicatorssuch as health and material resources, and examine theimpact of caring for the generations above and belowthose cared for.Retirement Prospects ofFuture Generations of EldersWe investigate the retirement prospects of future cohorts,examine the social and economic circumstances of theageing baby-boomer generations in the UK and usedynamic population simulation models to project thefinancial, health and social needs of the British populationto 2050, and to evaluate different policy scenarios.Social Networks and Informal SupportWe examine the complex division of labour in old-agesupport between individuals and their families, friends andneighbours, community and civil society.

Laurence WrightAfter completing the BSc and MSc in Environmental Science at Southampton and time in industry, Laurieembarked on a PhD.He explains: “After my MSc, I worked part-time at a waste management company while finishing my dissertation.My experience in the industry helped me to develop my professional skills and prompted me to look at thepossibility of further academic research. Having developed an interest in anthropogenic-induced climate changeand mitigation, I embarked on a project to develop a methodology to carbon map an international city, workingwith the city council and the University. It was a massive decision to leave employment and return to university,but I don’t regret it for a moment.”Civil Engineering & the EnvironmentAcademic staff: 35Postgraduate research students: 163Postgraduate taught students: 165RAE rating: The University of Southampton was placedin an elite group in the Civil Engineering unit of assessmentby the 2008 RAE.

Specificengineering applications extend to land, aerospace andmarine vehicles, structures, machinery and biologicalsystems. Our industry links are strong, reinforced by ourclose cooperation with industries across the EU. Keyresearch areas include:Active control and smart structuresWe work on the control of vibration using smartstructures. Projects include: tunable vibration absorbers;active vibration isolation; wave-based control of vibrationin beams, plates and pipes; and the development of novelsensors, actuators and devices.Dynamic modellingWe focus on models required to predict the dynamicbehaviour of a wide range of systems, including flexiblerotors and squeeze-film dampers, earthquake behaviour ofbuildings, turbochargers, leak detection in pipework, porousmaterials, and crack detection in built-up structures, andnonlinear vibration of isolators and energy harvesters.Dynamics of biological systemsOur research focuses on the modelling of muscles and ontheir control mechanisms. Systems studied include the hindleg of locusts and the human neuromuscularskeletal system,especially the wrist flexors and extensors. Our work alsoconcerns human motion dynamics and control.Structural dynamics at higher frequenciesOur interests concern modelling the dynamics of uncertainstructures and noise and vibration transmission at mid andhigh frequencies. These require special methods. Our workcovers component modal methods, wave-basedapproaches and the development of hybrid FEA/wave/energy methods. Applications include noise and vibrationtransmission in automotive, rail and aerospace structures,tyre noise and vibration and measurement of energy flowthrough machinery mounts and structural members.Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) | 131

When our immune system encounters a canceror cancer vaccine, it faces a choice of thousands of different moleculesto recognise but focuses only on one or two, thereby putting all itscombative eggs in one basket.Tim’s research will determine how this choice is made. He says: “With thisknowledge, it will be possible to gain more control over anti-cancer immuneresponses by designing new vaccines or by boosting natural immunity.”

By conducting the first extensivemeasurements of those flows, we will be able to test and redefine the waysin which ocean turbulence is represented in climate models, helping us tounderstand the ocean’s role in shaping climate change.”a.c.naveira-garabato@southampton.ac.ukTaught programmes 175MSc Engineering in the Coastal Environment 175MSc Marine Environment and Resources 176MSc Marine Resource Management 176MSc Marine Science, Policy and Law 177MSc Oceanography 177ContactPhD Enquiries:Tel: +44 (0)23 8059 4785Email: phdenq@noc.soton.ac.ukMSc/MRes Enquiries:Tel: +44 (0)23 8059 6028Email: mscenq@noc.soton.ac.ukPlease visit our website for the latest informationabout our research interests and the postgraduateprogrammes availablewww.southampton.ac.uk/oesStaff publications are listed at www.southampton.ac.uk/oes/about/staff.pageStaff listings include both University of Southampton and NERC staff at NOCS

Key areas of activityinclude: the chemical and physical characteristics ofmid-ocean-ridge basalts; high- and low-temperatureaspects of the zone of interaction between the inner andouter layers of the Earth; the collisional and extensionaltectonic settings linked to the generation of economicresources; and environmental concerns regarding toxicmetals, based on an understanding of the sources andsinks of metals.StaffDr Douglas Connelly, Professor Ian Croudace, Dr MattCooper, Dr Gavin Foster, Professor Rachel Mills, Dr AndyMilton, Dr Bramley Murton, Professor Martin Palmer,Dr Steve Roberts, Dr Peter Talling, Dr Rex Taylor, ProfessorDamon Teagle, Dr Clive Trueman, Dr Phil WarwickMarine EcosystemsEcosystems research involves all aspects of ecology,from shallow coastal lagoons to the deep-sea plains andhydrothermal vents, from the tropics to the poles. Wehave very active field research with most underpinned bymolecular techniques.Our coastal researchers study animals and plants fromcoastal lagoons to seas 30–40m deep. In shallow coastalwaters, we investigate the ecophysiology and immunologyof marine animals. Moving into deeper water, ourecophysiological research examines physiological andbiochemical adaptations of nematodes. A major theme ofthe Marine Ecology group is deep-sea ecology, includingthe taxonomy of a variety of groups including theforaminifera, amphipods and the echinoderms.See Ocean Biogeochemistry for list of staffMarine Geology and GeophysicsThe inaccessibility of 70 per cent of the Earth’s surfacebeneath the sea means that marine geologists andgeophysicists rely on remote-sensing techniques, as wellas in situ sampling, using coring and dredging.

Palaeoceanography and PalaeoclimateUnderstanding the timing and causes of past ocean/climatevariability enables scientists to interpret recent trends inclimate, to discriminate between natural climate variabilityand variations due to human impacts, and to predict futurechange. Our research is global and includes ongoing projectsin all ocean basins. We are heavily involved in two majorinternational palaeoceanographic coring programmesthe Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) and theInternational Marine Past Global Changes Study (IMAGES)and in editing the frontline journal in our field,Palaeoceanography.StaffDr Samantha Gibbs, Dr Ian Harding, Professor Alan Kemp,Professor John Marshall, Professor Heiko Palike, ProfessorEelco Rohling, Professor Paul WilsonPhysical OceanographyWe seek to understand, quantify and predict the physicalcharacter of the ocean, and the dynamic processes thatcontrol its circulation and mixing. Participating in a widevariety of oceanographic cruises, we use shipboardinstruments, moorings, floats and autonomousunderwater vehicles to make in situ measurements ofkey ocean processes. Of further vital importance aremeasurements that help us to accurately estimate air–seaexchanges of heat, momentum and gases throughout theWorld Ocean. Building on our expertise in ocean remotesensing, and with strong links to space agencies, we areexploring patterns of change and variability in satellitemeasurements of surface temperature, sea level andproductivity. Aligned with this suite of observations, wedevelop and use a wide range of ocean and climate modelsto test new hypotheses, to predict climate change, and toexplore the role of the ocean in the wider Earth system.StaffDr Tom Anderson, Dr Sheldon Bacon, Professor HarryBryden, Mr Peter Challenor, Dr Paolo Cipollini, Dr StuartCunningham, Dr Eleanor Frajka-Williams, Dr Jeremy Grist,Dr Christine Gommenginger, Dr Joel Hirschi, Dr PennyHolliday, Dr Elizabeth Kent, Dr Brian King, Dr Robert Marsh,Dr Elaine McDonagh, Professor Alberto Naveira Garabato,Dr Adrian New, Dr Kevin Oliver, Dr Ekaterina Popova,Dr Graham Quartly, Professor Ian Robinson, ProfessorJohn Shepherd, Professor Meric Srokosz, Dr David Smeed,Professor Mikis Tsimplis, Dr Neil Wells, Dr Margaret Yelland,Dr Andrew YoolResearch programmesPhDAdmissions Tutor: Professor D TeagleTel: +44 (0)23 8059 2723Email: dat@noc.soton.ac.ukGeneral admissions enquiries (Postgraduate Research)See main details, page 170www.southampton.ac.uk/oesKey factsEntry requirements: First- or upper second-class BSc honoursdegree or equivalent in a related discipline (eg biologicalsciences (including marine biology), chemistry, engineering,environmental sciences, geography, geology, geophysics,mathematics, natural sciences, oceanography, physics)Duration: 3 years (full-time); up to 6 years (part-time)Assessment: Thesis, viva voceStart date: OctoberIntake: 35Applying: University application form with transcripts, referencesClosing date: February for most NERC- or NOCS-fundedstudentships.

Optical FibresThe history of the optical fibre is closely linked to the ORC,and new fibre designs, materials and techniques continueto be developed. Our acclaimed expertise in thefabrication and processing of optical fibres feeds intomuch of our other research. We are at the forefront ofmodelling and fabrication of microstructured opticalfibres, and continue to work on increasing bandwidth,switching speed and flexibility for fibre-based systems.Optical MaterialsThis area of research involves the discovery, fabricationand characterisation of substances with new or interestingoptical properties. The foundation for the majorityof research at the ORC is our expertise in materialsprocessing. This extends from glasses based onchalcogenides to more exotic crystal materials, and includesmetamaterials, microstructures and nanotechnology.Optical Networks and SystemsHistorically, the ORC has participated in the key innovationsthat have had a radical impact on telecommunications,and this work continues today. As well as higher bandwidthapplications, research into all-optical switching andprocessing is under way, including integration of opticalcomponents with semiconductor devices. Sensing isanother key system-level activity, and sensors based onfibres, planar or hybrid devices are being used formechanical, electromagnetic, chemical and biologicalsensing applications.Planar Lightwave IntegrationIntegration of optical functions, such as amplification,oscillation, switching and filtering in circuits, realised innovel materials systems studied in the ORC, will allow theconstruction of multifunctional photonic circuits to rivaltheir electronic analogues and will enable the continuedrevolution in communications and IT.

Is it possible to find meaning or value in a godless universe that isfull of suffering? Might art and creativity provide some kind of answer? Andis morality good for us? Confronting these philosophers’ attempts to answerthese questions allows us to confront a crucial part of our own intellectualand cultural identity.”c.janaway@southampton.ac.ukPhilosophy181

First, throughstudies of sources such as black holes in targeted observations with both ground- and space-basedobservatories. This has provided us with the clearest insights into the flow of matter around black holes,and how over cosmological time they have shaped their environments and regulated the growth ofgalaxies. Most recently, we have developed a programme that will, for the first time, sweep the whole skyregularly in the radio band in order to find and report highly variable phenomena. This research makesuse of the new LOFAR radio telescope, and will probe exploration space in such new ways that we mayfind completely new astrophysical phenomena.”

Laser physics and nonlinear opticsWe have a distinguished research history in the physics ofnovel optical sources and materials, including passivelymode-locked, optically pumped, vertical-external-cavitysurface-emitting lasers (VECSELs), which are compact,versatile sources of ultrashort pulses for applications thatinclude nonlinear optics and THz generation. We contributea vital component to the University’s OptoelectronicsResearch Centre, and many of our projects are linked towork in quantum optoelectronics and magnetism.Magnetism and superconductivityOur research activities include: magnetic superlatticesand nanomagnets; spintronics; the vortex state and criticalcurrents; rare Earth metals and intermetallic compounds;intermediate valence; and heavy fermion materials. Weemploy a broad range of experimental techniques,nanofabrication methods and computational modelling,both in-house and at international facilities.Quantum controlWe investigate the physics and applications of quantummechanics in the interactions of ultracold atoms andmolecules with light and matter. Our research ranges fromstudying and developing new methods for the opticalcooling, trapping and manipulation of atoms andmolecules, using shaped and modulated laser fields andnanostructures, to exploring the limits and applications ofquantum mechanics, from atom interferometry andquantum algorithms to the quantum interference ofmassive molecules.Quantum optoelectronicsNew materials are being developed to produce increasinglyvaried quantum structures, leading to novel physics andkey applications, such as quantum dots and semiconductorlasers. Among these are nanostructures, in which ‘designer’band structures for electrons and photons can be created,and their interactions engineered in exciting ways. Ourresearch activities include semiconductor physics, photonsand spins in quantum structures, and investigations ofsemiconductor microcavities.Theoretical High-energy PhysicsHigh-energy physics is the study of the most elementaryconstituents of matter, the basic forces of nature by whichthey interact, and their role in the early universe. The studyof particle physics relies on experiments, ranging fromhuge particle accelerators to deep undergroundlaboratories, orbiting satellites and particle simulationsusing the most powerful computers. We are currentlyeagerly awaiting new experimental results from the LargeHadron Collider at CERN, and, with the aid of new data, weaim to shed light on fundamental questions in physics. Ourresearch activities focus on the following areas:Beyond the Standard Model and cosmologyThe Standard Model, the theory of elementary particles,leaves many questions unanswered, such as the origin ofparticle masses. We explore extensions of known physicsbased on supersymmetry, superstring theory and modelswith extra dimensions. We are also interested in theimplications of such theories for cosmology, using ideassuch as inflation, quintessence and baryogenesis.Field theory and string theoryWe are interested in the development of more formalaspects of particle physics theories. This work includesstudies of renormalisation in gauge theories. Recently,we have used the AdS/CFT correspondence and itsdeformations to understand new descriptions ofconfinement, chiral symmetry breaking and black holes.Lattice quantum chromodynamics and b-physicsWe work with the UKQCD collaboration of seven Britishuniversities, now exploiting the JIF-funded 10 Tflop/sQCDOC supercomputer. Research on related theoreticaltechniques complements numerical work. We emphasiseb-quark (and charm) physics and kaon physics. Resultsfrom BaBar and Belle, ongoing work at Fermilab and theprospects of the Large Hadron Collider motivate ourinterest in b-quark phenomenology, especiallyCP-violation and the CKM matrix.PhenomenologyWe are engaged in phenomenological studies of thepotential of present and future high-energy particleaccelerators, as part of the NExT Institute, in conjunctionwith the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford,Royal Holloway, University of London, and the Universityof Sussex. We are particularly interested in performingtests of the Higgs sector of the Standard Model, and of itsminimal and non-minimal supersymmetric extensions.186 | Physics and Astronomy
