Jessie Dobson, MSc.

she had been in the restoration of the Museum following the Second World War. She completed the work, begun by Wood Jones, of remaking the Museum as John Hunter had planned it: a display of specimens to illustrate adaptation of structure to function throughout nature, including the human body, in each physiological system, in health and disease. The remnant of Hunter's collection was refurbishe...

Electronic and magnetic materials are the central focus of our group's research. We study a wide variety of types of materials such as nanostructures, thin films, multilayered heterostructures, and bulk polycrystals and single crystals. We have interests in several areas including the interplay between electronic transport and magnetism in novel materials, and the study of interfaces between di...

Glen Dobson: 2 Year PhD Report

Since my first year PhD report I have been involved in the creation of an ontology for QoS in Service-Centric Systems. This report details the development of this ontology and my plans for future PhD research in this area.

What Drives the Brewer–Dobson Circulation?

Recent studies have revealed strong interactions between resolvedRossby wave and parameterized gravity wave driving in stratosphere-resolving atmospheric models. Perturbations to the parameterized wave driving are often compensated by opposite changes in the resolved wave driving, leading to ambiguity in the relative roles of these waves in driving the Brewer–Dobson circulation. Building on pre...
