Those investigations utilised the 100-detector Gammasphere array and obtained critical information on the location and strength of resonances that determine the production of elements in classical nova explosions. I began my journey in nuclear astrophysics research by performing gamma-ray spectroscopy studies of astrophysically important nuclei. In September 2013, he took up a permanent position at the University of Surrey and is now a Professor and the Director of Learning and Teaching. After a three-year postdoctoral research position, also in Edinburgh, he secured the first Ernest Rutherford Fellowship in Nuclear Astrophysics research. Prof. Lotay completed an MSci degree in Physics at the University of Birmingham in 2004 and a PhD in experimental Nuclear Physics at the University of Edinburgh in 2009.
In particular, by studying the reactions that occur in explosive astrophysical environments in terrestrial laboratories, Prof. Lotay endeavours to obtain the microscopic nuclear physics information needed to understand the macroscopic properties of the Universe. His main area of research expertise is in nuclear astrophysics, which aims to determine the origin of all the chemical elements we find on earth and observe in our Galaxy. Prof. Gavin Lotay is Director of Learning and Teaching at the University of Surrey and is a member of the Nuclear Physics Group.
