Earlier this year, Paul successfully led Durham's bid to bring four Rutherford Fellows to the University for research visits during 2018/19. The four Fellows, Dr Abhijit Mallick, Dr Pavan Yerramsetti, Dr Woon Kai Lin, and Dr Ali Huerta-Flores, are currently being hosted in the Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering Departments as part of the McGonigal, Avestro, Monkman, and Groves groups.
