PH-311 Physics Project
This module provides students with the opportunity to undertake an independent research project in physics, drawing on theoretical, experimental, or applied approaches. Each year, a catalogue of potential projects is published on Canvas, covering a range of contemporary topics. Within their chosen project, supervisors will guide students in formulating a focused research question and planning their investigation, offering support while allowing students to develop their analytical, problem-solving, and research skills. Students will carry out the project, analyse results, and communicate their findings through a structured written report and a poster presentation, similar to a professional conference session. Emphasis is placed on clear presentation, critical evaluation of data and methods, and the ability to discuss results in the context of physics scholarship. The module offers an integrative research experience, building on prior study and fostering essential skills in independent investigation, scientific reasoning, and scientific communication. By the end of the module, students will have demonstrated the ability to manage a defined research task, apply appropriate methodologies, and effectively present and discuss their results.

PH-M35 Medical Imaging and Spectroscopy: From MRI to photonics
Imaging using a variety of modalities from x-rays to magnetic resonance to photonics have revolutionized many areas of science including chemistry, materials and medicine. This course will give an overview of imaging techniques used in medicine. Selected modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy and optical imaging and spectroscopy will be explored in depth. Physical principles of nuclear magnetic resonance, MRI hardware, pulse sequences, safety and applications will be explored. Different types of optical microscopy and spectroscopy will be discussed and the interaction of photons with nano-particles and quantum dots and their applications for imaging will be explored.
