Many congratulations to Kim McKelvey who has been awarded with the Faculty of Science Doctoral Thesis Award for his work on " New Approaches and Application in Electrochemical Scanning Probe Microscopy".

The initiative, which was commissioned by the Faculty of Science, offered awards of up to £500 for the best PhD theses from each of the Faculty of Science PhD-awarding departments and centres.
