College Record 2022/23
The 2023/24 edition of the College Record, the formal record of the academic year at Wolfson College, Oxford. As well as recording the fellowship and membership of the College as it stood in 2023/24, the Record is a chance for members to look back on the previous academic year and take stock of the activities of our many research clusters and societies, to celebrate the achievements of our students, researchers and alumni, and to share news of interest with the whole Wolfson community. This year, alongside updates from members across the world, readers can find reflections on the life of Anders Celsius, Byzantine art, the legal fight for clean rivers in the UK, and Wolfson’s own mysterious Second World War bunker. The Record is edited by Dr Roger Tomlin.

considerations for clinical research. And finally Professor Matt Costa gave an update on new<br />
trial interventions which are being set up under the WHiTE (World Hip Trauma Evaluation)<br />
Platform.<br />
Monday 10 July<br />
Our final meeting of the academic year began with a talk from Dr Stephen Gill, Senior<br />
Research Fellow at St John of God Hospital and Deakin University, Geelong (Australia), who<br />
spoke about injury profiles in American Football. Then En Lin Goh, a DPhil student within<br />
our department, gave an update on his DPhil research project into complications following<br />
hip fracture surgery. The third talk was by Martin Holt, who leads the research finance<br />
team in our department at Oxford.<br />
Other Cluster activities<br />
We have also held Senior Management and Operational Group meetings on the mornings<br />
of Cluster meetings, and have hosted ad hoc events related to trauma and emergency care<br />
research. An example is the visit of Gerard Slobogean, Professor of Orthopaedic Trauma<br />
at the University of Maryland, who came to Oxford in July to exchange ideas about clinical<br />
trial design. We also plan to host Dr Maoyi Tian, Senior Research Fellow from the George<br />
Institute in China, who will be visiting this summer to discuss fragility fracture care in a<br />
global context.<br />

QUANTUM HUB<br />
The New Frontiers Quantum Hub has celebrated the seventieth birthday of David Deutsch<br />
(HF) with a collection of essays from world-leading experts in fundamental quantum<br />
physics. See <br />
The pianist Rakhat Bi has been elected a Visiting Scholar to explore connections between<br />
quantum physics and music.<br />
The economist Francesca Loria from the Federal Reserve has visited the Cluster to foster<br />
interaction between the quantum computing researchers in the Cluster and macroeconomy<br />

The Cluster has been actively seeking further funding from various donors, including the<br />
Agnelli Foundation in Turin, to enhance the collaboration with the INRIM laboratories on<br />
quantum optics.<br />
On the horizon there is a series of podcasts to be realised with support from the Eutopia<br />
Foundation, on how to foster creativity in tailored research environments; and a focussed<br />
physics meeting on constructor theory and its applications, between the INRIM quantum<br />
