The Managers of the David Crighton Fund are pleased to announce the winners of the David Crighton Fellowships for 2008. These Fellowships have been established to enable young researchers in the late Professor Crighton's areas of interest to undertake up to three months' study and research with a suitable host in Cambridge (or elsewhere, if they are already in Cambridge).
The 2008 David Crighton Fellows are:
Mr John Burke, of the University of California at Berkeley, to work with Dr Jonathan Dawes in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics on 'Localized states in a nonvariational Swift-Hohenberg equation'.
Mr Konstantinos Zygalakis, of the University of Warwick, to work with Professor Peter Haynes in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics on 'Stochastic models of fluid transport'.
Mr Richard Booth, of the University of Oxford, to work with Professor John Hinch in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics on 'Large fingering instabilities in miscible flow in a porous media'.
Mr Emanuele Terrile, of the University of Genoa, to work with Professor Michael McIntyre in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics on 'Wave-vortex interactions'.
