Dr Ross Gray

Senior Research Fellow

Physics

Personal statement

Ross Gray received his PhD from the University of Strathclyde in 2013, he continued at Strathclyde through his post-doctoral research from 2013-2016 and is now a senior research fellow in laser-plasma interactions. His research covers a range of topics in intense laser-matter interactions including laser-driven ion acceleration, relativistic plasma photonics, high field laser-matter interactions and the application of machine learning to plasma physics.
