I am currently involved with setting up the new Oxford Centre for Applied Superconductivity (CfAS) (link is external)and its new research activities in Physics. I was a member of the Superconductivity Group Committee of the Institute of Physics(link is external) until October 2012, and the SelCom, EuroMagnet II(link is external) Selection Committee for access to the high magnetic fields facilities in Europe until December 2012. Since 2011 I have been organizing the Oxford Symposium on Quantum Materials combined with an expert visitor programme both funded by the EPSRC as well as a Cafe Scientifique of Quantum Materials dedicated to open discussions on quantum materials.
