Following the sudden, unexpected and very sad death of the Director of the Graphene Centre, Professor Alex Savchenko, the Exeter Centre is now under caretaker management whilst a new Director is established.

Dr Alan Usher has taken on day-to-day management - he has the benefit of a close working knowledge of the Centre's activities and is ideally placed to meet this challenge.

Professor Bill Barnes is looking after the strategic level aspects of the Centre. He has substantial experience of running large scale projects and is happy to support the Centre by taking on this role.

Professor Simon Bending remains Director of the Centre in Bath.

Alan, Bill and Simon are grateful for the assistance and understanding of colleagues across the Centre both in Exeter and Bath at this difficult time.

We are currently recruiting for a new Chair in Graphene Science to lead the centre on a full-time, permanent basis, as well as for a new lecturer in graphene-based devices.
