People

  • Nick Hills moved form Sussex to take up an RCUK Academic Fellowship at Surrey in early 2005. He is leading the follow on proposal for the UKAAC consortium.
  • Zixiang Sun has stayed on in the Thermo-Fluid Systems UTC, currently employed on the DTI/RR MCDO project and planning to transfer the DIDACTIC project in Sept. 2007. As a Chinese national he is now applying for UK permanent residence.
