Professor Philip Burrows, Senior Research Fellow at Jesus College
The IoP is the professional body and learned society for Physics in the UK and Ireland. Council is the Board of Trustees of the Institute and has ultimate responsibility for directing its affairs, and ensuring that it is solvent, well run, and delivers the charitable outcomes for which it was set up. The results of the elections to the Council were announced at the IOP’s Annual General Meeting last month.
Philip says: “It is a great honour to have been elected a Member of Council. I joined the IoP when a graduate student and I have been closely involved ever since. I was elected Fellow in 2004 and served as Chair of the Particle Accelerators and Beams Group between 2012 and 2016. It will be a privilege to help advise and steer the Institute as a Member of Council.”
Philip is not the only member of the Jesus College Fellowship to be celebrating: Professor Sir Keith Burnett, Honorary Fellow, has been elected President-elect of the prestigious Institute and will become President in two years’ time, after the term of Professor Sheila Rowan CBE, which begins in October this year.
