• Dr Neil Goulding wins the Vernon Harrison Prize for the Best Thesis In Rheology

  25/10/2012

  Dr Neil Goulding has been awarded the Vernon Harrison Annual Doctoral Prize of the British Society of Rheology for 2012. Neil completed his doctoral thesis on 'Wavelet regularization and the continuous relaxation spectrum', under the supervision of Professor Russell Davies in November 2011. His research involved the development of natural models for the continuous relaxation spectrum using wavelet analysis. The relaxation spectrum of a material provides insight into the relaxation mechanisms of the material and contains information about its molecular structure.
