On 6th September 2013, Dr Daniel Mortlock from Imperial College London presented to Wilson’s School in London.
Dr Mortlock is a lecturer in astro-statistics in the Astrophysics Group in the Department of Physics at Imperial College, London. His research interests are based around problems of inference, in which (probabilistic) conclusions about the real world are made from incomplete or imperfect data, and particularly their application to astrophysics.
Dr Mortlock was invited to present to the school’s A-Level Physics students and staff as part of the Wilson’s School’s three-day program aimed at giving their strongest students a better idea of the courses they are considering studying.
Through his talk, Dr Motlock discussed the possible careers that might result from studying Physics as well as discussing his astronomical research.
