Postgraduate Graduation Wednesday 1 May 2013 Royal Albert Hall • London The President & Rector’s welcome Today we welcome some 2,600 graduands and 5,000 guests from over 100 nations to our annual Postgraduate Award Ceremonies held in the After crossing the stage of the Royal Albert Hall, graduands formally become graduates, joining a 160,000-strong global community of alumni. Wherever you take your talents next, fellow Imperial alumni will be nearby. Almost every country and region of the world has its own Imperial alumni association and they will be delighted to welcome you as the newest members of the Imperial family. splendour of the Today is all about your wonderful achievements. Enjoy your moment. Whatever path you take next, our best wishes go with you. Royal Albert Hall. Warm regards, As we celebrate our new graduates’ remarkable achievements at Imperial, we reflect not only on academic distinctions already attained, but also on the opportunities and challenges to come, the goals we are yet to accomplish, the rewards still to be reaped. Imperial did not become one of the world’s great universities by letting its students off lightly. Postgraduate study at Imperial requires remarkable intellectual prowess, sustained hard work and exceptional creative thinking. Not everyone has what it takes, but today’s graduates do. Thank you for choosing to bring your extraordinary talents here and enriching our community. I also wish to extend a special thanks to the family and friends here today who have provided invaluable support, guidance and advice over many years of study. You deserve to feel great pride in our graduates’ success. Unauthorised photography is not allowed in the Royal Albert Hall. (Official photographers receive special permission beforehand.)

Sir Keith O’Nions Scientific thought and its creation is the common and shared heritage of mankind.” — Abdus Salam FRS, Nobel laureate and Professor of Theoretical Physics at Imperial from 1957–94 Imperial past and present e A new chapter in the College’s history began in 2007 with the celebration of Imperial’s 100th birthday and its new status as an independent university. Today’s graduation ceremonies recognise the continuing high achievement of Imperial’s students. Imperial currently attracts over 14,000 students and 6,000 staff of the highest international quality and has a worldwide reputation for excellence in teaching and research. The College began its journey towards its current position—third in Europe and eighth in the world, as rated by the 2012–13 THE World University Rankings—a century ago with just 600 students and 12 professors. The College was founded in July 1907 by the merger of three great nineteenth century institutions—the Royal College of Science, the City and Guilds College and the Royal School of Mines. The late twentieth century saw mergers with St Mary’s Hospital Medical School, the National Heart and Lung Institute, the Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School, the Royal Postgraduate Medical School, Wye College and the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology. The Imperial of today operates across seven campuses and several associated sites in west London and the home counties. Imperial’s founding charter created an institution “… to give the highest specialised instruction and to provide the fullest equipment for the most advanced training and research in various branches of science especially in its application to industry”. This commitment to apply Imperial’s research for the benefit of all has been a constant theme throughout the College’s history, and holds strong today with current focuses including interdisciplinary collaborations to tackle climate change, and mathematical modelling to predict and control the spread of infectious diseases, such as avian flu. 2 With 73 Fellows of the Royal Society among our current academic staff or with an ongoing association with the College, and distinguished past members of the College including 14 Nobel laureates and two Fields Medallists, Imperial’s contribution to society during its history has been immense. Inventions and innovations include the discovery of penicillin, the development of holography and the foundations of fibre optics. Famous names associated with Imperial include T.H. Huxley, one of the greatest scientists of the nineteenth century; the author H.G. Wells; joint Nobel Prize winners, Sir Alexander Fleming and Sir Ernst Chain, discoverers of penicillin; W.E. Dalby, the internationally renowned railway engineer; W.H. Perkin, inventor of mauveine, the first aniline dye that led to the development of the synthetic chemical industry; Sir Almroth Wright, a pioneer of vaccination; Eric Laithwaite, known for his development of magnetically levitated (maglev) high-speed trains; and George Finch who, in 1922, was able to climb higher than any previous mountaineer due to his pioneering work on oxygen and breathing apparatus. Since the College’s creation, about 170,000 of the brightest students in the world have been educated by such authorities in their subjects. Today, the College attracts students from over 150 countries across the globe, and has a network of international links and collaborations with many of the world’s top universities. The College coat of arms The College coat of arms, which incorporates the royal coat of arms, was assigned by royal warrant dated 6 June 1908. The motto was devised by Imperial’s Governing Body with the name as well as the purpose of the College in mind and perhaps drawing ‘decus et tutamen’ from line 262 of Book V of Virgil’s Aeneid. The translation appropriate to the spirit of the age and the intentions of the founders is “scientific knowledge, the crowning glory and the safeguard of the empire”. Imperial College London Postgraduate Graduation Ceremony Wednesday 1 May 2013 • Royal Albert Hall Imperial’s graduation ceremonies Until 1955, Imperial’s graduation ceremonies took place in the Great Hall of the University of London, which was then located in the Imperial Institute at the heart of the South Kensington Campus. Before each ceremony, a formal College procession filed from Prince Consort Road to the Great Hall of the Institute. All that remains of the Imperial Institute today is the Queen’s Tower, saved from demolition in the late 1960s. The first College graduation ceremony in the Royal Albert Hall was held on 26 October 1955. The day’s events commemorated the 1945 centenary of the Royal College of Science; the oldest forerunner of Imperial. The RCS centenary was attended by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth and its anniversary became known as Commemoration Day in honour of their visit. Imperial undergraduates and postgraduates were all presented at the same ceremony in the Royal Albert Hall on Commemoration Day each October until 1996, when a ceremony for postgraduates only was added in May. In 2007, as part of the College’s Centenary celebrations, a special graduation ceremony was held in Singapore to reflect the large number of students coming to Imperial from Asia. The Imperial mace Imperial’s graduation ceremonies see the procession of the Imperial mace, pictured right, a generous gift from the Goldsmiths’ Company that marks Imperial becoming a university in its own right and the award of its new charter by Her Majesty The Queen in 2007. First used in 2009, the mace is made of silver and gilt, and weighs 7.1 kg. It was made by craftsmen from Padgham and Putland of Kent and its intricate workings incorporate the College coat of arms and motto. The future cannot be predicted, but futures can be invented.” The history of our academic dress The robes our graduates wear today have their origin in the everyday dress of the Middle Ages which consisted of a tunic and cloak and, to protect the head and shoulders, a hood. The ancient universities in Europe began as communities of scholars and teachers in religious schools around great cathedrals or monasteries. Students there were clerics, who would have worn clothing similar to that of everyone else at the time. As fashions in the world changed, the church and universities retained their cloaks which became the main item of academic dress. — Dennis Gabor FRS, Professor of Electron Physics at Imperial, inventor of holography and Nobel laureate For centuries, the shape of a university robe’s sleeve denoted the degree attained by its wearer. However, the advent of many new universities, each requiring an individual system of robes, brought changes that continue being made to the present day. Until 2007, all Imperial College London graduates wore University of London academic dress. Then, to reflect Imperial’s status as an independent university, new robes were designed and today’s graduation ceremonies see graduates wearing both College and University of London robes. See page 5 for more details. Wednesday 1 May 2013 • Royal Albert Hall 3 recent imperial news New campus Leaders from business, research and government attended the launch in March 2013 of the vision for Imperial West, a new seven-acre campus in White City close to the Hammersmith Campus in west London. A £150 million Research and Translation Hub – a highspecification, multidisciplinary research space for scientists and engineers and state-of-the art incubator space for spinout companies – will form the core of a £1 billion ‘innovation ecosystem’ within which 3,000 researchers will work to solve scientific challenges of the future. The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, and the Universities and Science Minister, David Willetts MP, spoke at the event, highlighting the project’s benefit to the local community and the London economy. Phase one of the development at the site has seen the construction of Wood Lane Studios – 600 studio apartments for postgraduates. The first residents arrived in September 2012. The campus will eventually also include leisure and retail facilities, a conference centre, homes for Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust key workers and for private sale, and a public square. College governance changes Professor James Stirling has been named the first Provost of Imperial. A theoretical particle physicist, Professor Stirling is currently Jacksonian Professor of Natural Philosophy and Head of the Department of Physics at the University of Cambridge. He will take up his new role by the beginning of August 2013. The appointment follows changes to Imperial’s governance announced in April 2012, in which the responsibilities of the former Rector role have been split. The Provost will look after the College’s core academic mission – education, research and translation – while the President & Rector will focus on the College’s external affairs, both in the UK and internationally. New Business School Dean Professor G. ‘Anand’ Anandalingam, an expert in electronic markets and telecommunications networks, has been appointed Dean of Imperial College Business School and Professor of Management Science. He will 4 succeed Professor Dorothy Griffiths, who has served as Dean (formerly Principal) of the School since February 2012, following Professor David Begg’s retirement.

Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, USA, Professor Anandalingam will take up his role at Imperial on 1 August 2013. and will focus on supporting those in financial need. Students will have access to world class academic training and support throughout their PhD enabling them contribute to society, industry and academia upon their return to India. www.imperial.ac.uk/international/ prospective/newscholarships/ icifscholarships Indian alumni gatherings Imperial alumni across India met at receptions hosted by the President & Rector, Sir Keith O’Nions, at the start of January 2013. At events in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore around 140 alumni encountered old and new friends, and received updates from Sir Keith on the College’s current and future priorities. During his week-long visit, Sir Keith launched new Imperial scholarships for Indian students (see below), met with some of the College’s key business and industry partners, delivered a keynote speech at a British Council/UNESCO global forum on maths and science teaching in schools, and took part in a conference on climate change to which alumni were also welcomed. Biochemistry renamed Imperial celebrated the founder of the Department of Biochemistry in November 2012 with the naming of the Biochemistry Building as the Sir Ernst Chain Building – Wolfson Laboratories. The German-born British biochemist Sir Ernst Chain (1906–79) founded the Department in 1964 and held the Chair in Biochemistry until his retirement in 1976. Chain was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1945, while at Oxford, “for the discovery of penicillin and its curative effect in various infectious diseases.” He shared it equally with Sir Alexander Fleming and Sir Howard Florey. Imperial College India Foundation PhD Scholarships The College and its Indian supporters association, the Imperial College India Foundation, have established a new PhD scholarships scheme, which was launched during the President & Rector’s Indian tour earlier this year (see above). The scholarships are aimed at academically outstanding Indian students who have not already completed a degree at a higher education institution outside India, Imperial College London Postgraduate Graduation Ceremony Wednesday 1 May 2013 • Royal Albert Hall Imperial Fringe Inspired by the success of last year’s first Imperial Festival, the College has held a series of public Fringe events over the last few months.

I have been trying to point out that in our lives chance may have an astonishing influence and, if I may offer advice to the young laboratory worker, it would be this – never to neglect an extraordinary appearance or happening.” – Sir Alexander Fleming, Nobel laureate and discoverer of penicillin at St Mary’s Hospital, now part of Imperial Wednesday 1 May 2013 • Royal Albert Hall Imperial College London Postgraduate Graduation Ceremony 9 Honorary degree K An Imperial College London honorary degree is conferred on persons of conspicuous merit, who are outstanding in their field. Professor Dame Ann Dowling Sir John Parker A world authority on combustion, acoustics and vibration, Dame Ann Dowling, FRS, FREng, is Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Head of the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge. Initially a student of mathematics at Cambridge, a summer job at the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough sparked Dame Ann’s lifelong fascination with aircraft noise and she chose her PhD specialisation in engineering. Dame Ann became a Cambridge research fellow in 1977 and has remained at the university ever since, notwithstanding visiting posts at MIT in 1999 and Caltech in 2001. In 1993 she became the Department of Engineering’s first ever female professor. Dame Ann’s research on unsteady combustion provides insight and models that are enabling gas turbine manufacturers to avoid damaging instabilities in low emission combustors. She demonstrated that active feedback control is a powerful way of eliminating the damaging interactions that lead to instability. This complements the passive control techniques that Dame Ann has developed that are now being pursued by a number of manufacturers. A noted business, industry and education leader, Sir John Parker, FREng, is president of the Royal Academy of Engineering, chairman of Anglo American, vice-chairman of DP World, and a non-executive director of EADS (Airbus) and Carnival Corporation. He is a visiting fellow at the University of Oxford, has chaired several FTSE 100 companies and the Court of the Bank of England. Born in County Down, Sir John studied naval architecture and mechanical engineering at the College of Technology and Queen’s University Belfast. He joined Harland and Wolff, initially as a student apprentice, rising to become the shipbuilding group’s general manager for sales and projects. In the shipbuilding industry, Sir John has overseen both nationalisation – as managing director of Austin and Pickersgill and a board member of the British Shipbuilders Corporation in the 1970s – and successful privatisation, leading Harland and Wolff’s 1980s turnaround. In the 1990s Sir John transformed Babcock International as chairman and chief executive. In 1997 Sir John became a non-executive director of British Gas, later becoming chairman of Lattice Group following its demerger from BG Group in 2000. He oversaw Lattice’s merger with National Grid where he became chair in 2002. After chairing Firth Rixson, RMC and P&O among others, Sir John assumed his current role as chairman of Anglo American in 2009. Dame Ann’s work with Cambridge and MIT colleagues has resulted in the release of a conceptual design for a fuel efficient and almost noiseless aircraft. Her work in aeronautics and energy has been recognised by fellowships of the Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering, and foreign associate membership of both the US National Academy of Engineering and the French Academy of Sciences. She is a non-executive director of BP, a panel chair for the Research Excellence Framework, a keen pilot and, as rated by BBC Radio Four’s Woman’s Hour, one of the 100 most powerful women in the country. A fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering since 1983, Sir John spearheaded a major fundraising campaign to greatly expand its education and outreach activities. He was elected President in 2011. Sir John has served on the Prime Minister’s Business Council for Britain, the Defence Academy Advisory Board, the government’s Asia Task Force, and was deputy chairman of the White Ensign Association. He was recently Chancellor of the University of Southampton (2006–11) and remains an Elder Brother of Trinity House. He was knighted in 2001 for services to the defence and shipbuilding industries and was appointed GBE in 2012 for services to Industry and the voluntary sectors. 10 Imperial College London Postgraduate Graduation Ceremony Wednesday 1 May 2013 • Royal Albert Hall Professor Tim Pedley An internationally renowned applied mathematician specialising in the application of fluid mechanics to biology and medicine, Tim Pedley, FRS, is Emeritus GI Taylor Professor of Fluid Mechanics at the University of Cambridge and sits on the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

Graduation day belongs to you, to share with friends, family and everyone who has helped you along the way. It’s an opportunity to reflect – and perhaps breathe a sigh of relief and satisfaction for the goal you’ve achieved. At times during your studies, you may not have seen yourself reaching this point; postgraduate life is tough and demanding, and you should be proud of your success. My hope is that Imperial will remain relevant to you long after today. Your relationship as an alumnus is only just beginning; when you cross the Royal Albert Hall’s stage, you are joining our community of over 160,000 alumni in 192 countries. On behalf of them all, I am delighted to welcome you. Whatever your future plans and wherever in the world you might end up, Imperial’s 60 worldwide alumni associations will be delighted to welcome you. To hear about the social events and networking opportunities they offer, make sure you officially register as an alumnus at www.imperial.ac.uk/alumni. Membership is lifelong and free, so please keep us updated with your latest contact details. In time, you may find yourself in a position to give something back, keeping the College open to the brightest students and continuing to provide a world class education for them. An increasing proportion of Imperial alumni are already proud supporters of the College and some of you may have benefited from scholarships funded through the generosity of your predecessors. Over the last couple of years, alumni donations tripled the number of Rector’s Scholarships provided by regular individual contributions. In the future, with your support, I hope we shall fund many more and enable a new generation of excellent scholars to graduate from Imperial. I wish you and your family a very happy graduation day and hope that you enjoy your first official alumni event – the reception that follows this ceremony. Please stay in touch and share your news via the Alumni Office, and keep an eye out for issue 39 of Imperial magazine, which will be in the post later this year. Many congratulations, once again, and a very warm welcome to the Imperial family. Registering also means that you will continue to have access to the Careers Advisory Service and Central Library, as well as a dedicated alumni jobs board and professional networking directory. In addition to these services, I would also like to invite you to join our LinkedIn group, Imperial College London Alumni. Membership of this group will allow you to reunite with classmates and make new connections with fellow alumni. With over 6,600 members, the group provides an excellent opportunity to network professionally and remain in touch with the College. I am also pleased to highlight our new and exclusive Alumni Visitor Centre near the main entrance of the South Kensington Campus. The Centre contains a lounge with complimentary Wi-Fi, refreshments and the latest information about the College, as well as a bookable meeting room. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future and hope you will drop in to take advantage of this excellent new facility.
