Graduate Frank's The Master!

Frank Murphy, eldest son of proud parents John and Joanne, graduated from Imperial College at the Royal Albert Hall on the 20th October 2010. Mum and dad are pictured with Frank above.

His qualification is a MSci (Master of Science) in Physics, which included a year in Europe. He received a First Class Honours.

Frank has received offers from Oxford and Cambridge Universities to begin a Ph.D (Philospoae Doctor), but has decided to remain at Imperial for the 3-year course as their program was more suitable.

What is the research topic for his Ph.D you may ask ??? I leave the explanation to Frank!

"The PhD is: 'Quantum optics and Negative refraction in Quantum metamaterials' or something along those lines. We're attempting to bend light the opposite way to which it does naturally which would allow the creation of 'superlenses' or even an invisibility cloaking device."

A bit like Leighton Baines bending his free-kicks around goalkeepers!!

Well done Frank, and congratulations from all the family! Good luck with Ph.D !!
