Dr. Burch wins Lee-Osheroff-Richardson Prize

Dr Burch was presented with the Lee-Osheroff-Richardson prize at the Oxford Instruments “Socialize with Science” event at the APS 2012 March meeting in Boston, USA on 28th February. Professor Bruce Gaulin from McMaster University and Prize Committee Chairman commented “Dr. Burch was selected from a very strong cohort of nominees.  His selection was in recognition of novel mechnical exfoliation studies of both high temperature superconductors and topological insulators, combined with optical studies of related highly correlated electron materials.  His record of innovative and deep studies of these topic systems was most impressive.”
