Postdoctoral Research Highlights

We are proud of our vibrant and diverse community of postdoctoral researchers that are fundamental to the success of our Research Centres. Their research achievements are recognised by prestigious awards and keynote publications. 

• Dr Océane Seudre is among the winners of the 2024 L'Oréal UNESCO For Women In Science Rising Talents Awards. She is a postdoctoral research associate in the School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences.

​"I am honoured to be recognised by L'Oréal UNESCO for my research. Understanding how butterflies adapt to their environment is not only fascinating but is also crucial for our understanding of how species respond to climate change. The flexibility of this award represents a rare opportunity for transformation, extending beyond enhancing my career prospects and fostering a healthier work-life balance as a mother to also build trust among  the public and the research community.”

• Dr Shohreh Nourinovin, postdoctoral research associate in the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science is the first author of a study that presents a significant advancement in early cancer detection. 

 "Traditional methods for detecting skin cancer often involve expensive, time-consuming, CT, PET scans and invasive higher frequencies technologies. Our biosensor offers a non-invasive and highly efficient solution, leveraging the unique properties of THz waves – a type of radiation with lower energy than X-rays, thus safe for humans – to detect subtle changes in cell characteristics.".  Press release here.

• ​​Queen Mary Academy offers support and training for postdocs. The next QMUL Postdoc Conference will take place in April 2025.
