    30 years working on conjugated polymers

    It is rather appropriate that our book on conjugated polymers comes out 30 years to the month since I arrived in Cambridge to start working on them for the first time. When I joined Andy Holmes’s group in April 1994 polymer, OLEDs were a new and exciting field and were still some years away from […]

    Control your knowledge of feedback control

    Feedback dynamics is a topic that many engineers feel they should know. Feedback loops appear everywhere in engineering and science, and a command of feedback greatly increases one’s ability to design useful, robust machines. But it is also true that regardless of where you are in your engineering career, you have plenty of reason not […]
