神马福利影片

On behalf of the Itanium Solutions Alliance, it was yesterday announced that the 神马福利影片 has been selected as a finalist in the Computationally Intensive Applications category of the 2009 Itanium Innovation Awards.  

The entry from Rudolf A Roemer and coauthors,

"On Large Scale Diagonalization Techniques for the Anderson Model of Localization", O. Schenk, M. Bollhöfer, R. A. Römer, SIAM J. Sci. Comp. 28, 963-983 (2006); selected with additions for SIAM Reviews 50, 91-112 (2008).

received high marks from a panel of prestigious judges for its innovation and positive impact. There was strong competition this year from  number of high-profile organizations on a global basis, so being selected is a category finalist is indeed a significant achievement.

There will be a formal announcement posted to the Itanium Solutions Alliance website and distributed via a press release in the next day or two. This should gain additional visibility for our University and Physics's achievements, culminating with the announcement of the category winners at a formal recognition event in San Francisco in September.

On Wednesday 8^th July the University Council gave the final go-ahead for this £24M project. Enabling work will start over the summer and we expect the contractor to move onto site in November. The building will have 4,699 square metres of floor area on 4 floors and will be of a similar height to the adjacent Physics building. The main entrance will be from the third floor concourse. It will house purpose-built laboratories for electron microscopy, mass spectrometry, x-ray diffraction and synthetic chemistry and is designed to achieve BREEAM EXCELLENT environmental status.  

The building is scheduled to be ready for occupancy at the end of August 2011.

 

Professor Robin Ball has been awarded the Institute of Physics 2009 Rayleigh Medal and Prize, which is awarded for distinguished research in theoretical, mathematical or computational physics.
