This research involves investigation into the use of spaced repetition within physics higher education. In higher education, long-term memory is needed for students to have a sound platform of

We investigate the physics of soft matter systems – materials that include liquid crystals, polymers and biopolymers, glasses, composites, gels and colloids. Our work is primarily experimental; we

The Physics Education Research Group is an integral part of the School of Physics and Astronomy at Leeds. Our research looks at the ways in which students learn physics and develop as physicists in

We are an interdisciplinary group researching the structure and interactions of matter at the molecular and nanoscale. We collaborate closely with colleagues in Biology, Chemistry, Engineering,

We are interested in some of the most important phenomena influencing our weather and climate. We study a wide range of fundamental science that underpins our physical understanding of the

At its most fundamental, chemistry is the 'art' of transforming one molecule into another. This research group builds on the foundations laid by physicists and chemists in the 20th century, by

The Applied Geophysics group focuses on the characterisation of the earth's subsurface at a range of scales using a varied range of geophysical methods that find a diverse range of applications

We develop and validate mathematical and statistical models and simulation tools for the representation, analysis and optimisation of traffic and transportation systems with a particular focus on the

We are involved in solving the challenges of modern theoretical physics. Our research encompasses topics ranging from black holes and quantum gravity to quantum field theory, quantum information
