Thesis Prizes awarded by the Optoelectronics Fund

This scheme was established in 1998.  All UK universities were invited to nominate PhD graduates whose research covered fundamental experimental or theoretical optoelectronic effects, including optical signal processing and physiological optics, or their applications in such areas as laser technology, displays, optical communications and astronomy.  The prizes awarded to date are as follows:
