The day will feature a presentation by Benyam Dejen, Director of Outreach at the Blackett Lab Family. Benyam Dejen has a master’s degree in Physics from Imperial College, London with specialities in the field of quantum optics. The Blackett Lab Family is a social enterprise made up of people from a variety of professions and specialisms who share a passion for physics and positive representations of the Black community. This national collective of talented, successful, and influential people is making waves in education, research, industry, technology, finance and law. Their ambition is to become influential in society, leading the conversation on diversity in physics and inspiring a new generation of Black minds in our communities - and beyond. Benyam Dejen will give a talk about his research in quantum optics, his physics journey to date and the incredible work of other UK-based Black physicists

The day will be run via Blackboard Collaborate (Similar to Zoom) and students will need access to a computer for the day. Let us know if this is a problem as we may be able to help.
