UNIVERSITY OF EXETER
NORTHCOTE HOUSE, THE QUEENS DRIVE , EXETER, EX4 4QJ, United Kingdom, represented by Dr Luke Savage (
l.savage@ex.ac.uk), Dr Dave Newman (D.M.Newman@exeter.ac.uk), Dr Lesley Wears (M.J.Wears@ex.ac.uk) and Dr Raphael J. Matelon (R.J.Matelon@exeter.ac.uk).
Partner information Exeter University will lead and Coordinate the project. Dr Dave Newman of Exeter has a prestigious track record in the advancement
of magneto-optical recording media with over 80 publications in the field stretching over 27 years and is now part of The Electronic Systems Engineering Group within the School of Engineering. Dr Newman also has
extensive experience in managing scientific programmes including direct experience of participating in previous EU funded programmes in the area of magneto-optical media (Esprit 3 Ref: 7801 MAGNOPT 1 & 2). He will
be assisted in project management duties (WP10) by Dr Luke Savage who has been appointed specifically for his project management skills and experience with EC research projects. Dr Savage has eight years experience of
EU projects and technical project management, with a strong thermal engineering and materials science background. He has extensive knowledge of managing funded research programmes at National and European level and has
managed various EU funded research projects including Framework 4 and 5 RTD and Craft projects, as well as coordinating 2 EU Thematic networks.Exeter University will contribute the main technical and
experimental input on the project (WP1 & 2). Dr Newman is responsible for a large part of the original work underpinning this proposal, being responsible for many of the important findings concerning the magneto
optical behaviour of blood. He has also recently conducted a study of magnetic interactions on thermal waves travelling through magnetic media. Exeter will therefore by responsible for the extensive programme of
research to develop the MO concept in WP1. He has supervised more than six PhD programmes on magneto-optics and some three or four PhD and post PhD programmes researching photoacoustic detection of magneto-optic
phenomena and is therefore an ideal candidate to carry out this investigation and and oversee research in this area. UNEXE will also contribute to WP7 working specifically on the development of a viable
liquid cell fabricated from piezoelectric material. UNEXE has considerable experience in the design and construction of instruments and piezoelectric transducers for non-destructive testing of structures, The group has
developed a successful mathematical model to analyse wide band acoustic piezoelectric transducer designs, and has been involved with novel signal and image processing algorithms. http//www.ex.ac.uk
