Ogden Teaching Fellow receives award from IOP

Libby Heaney, a 24 year old female physics graduate of Imperial College, London from Tamworth in Staffordshire picked up a £1,000 prize at the Institute of Physics (IOP) in London recently for the significant contribution she has already made to physics at a very early stage in her career.
 
The 2008 Very Early Career Woman Physicist of the Year Award, sponsored by HSBC, is judged by IOP’s Women in Physics Group in recognition of the winner’s contribution to physics.
 
Rewarded for both her academic work and the efforts she has made to inspire others into physics, Libby has devoted time by going in to local schools. As an Ogden Teaching Fellow, she has worked particularly closely with students from New College and Kings School in Pontefract and given students the opportunity to get to know a theoretical physicist who works at the top of her field.
