The JHI is pleased to report that Kelly Hambleton has been awarded First Prize at poster exhibition ceremony. Kelly’s work on the advanced morphological classification of galaxies involved a detailed comparison of observed galaxies with a large suite of simulated galaxies, the latter of which made extensive use of UCLan’s High Performance Computing Facility. The project lead was Professor Brad Gibson; said Gibson, “I could not be more pleased for Kelly. I handed her a project which was more suited to be a full year MSc project, and yet she managed to complete the work within a few short months. We are close to submitting what will be an excellent paper to one of the highest-impact refereed journals in the field of physical science, in recognition of the outstanding quality of Kelly’s research.”.
