Prof. Gene Mele will assume a 2014-2015 Leverhulme Visiting Professorship in the United Kingdom. The award from the Leverhulme Trust enables UK institutions to invite eminent researchers from overseas to enhance knowledge and skills of academic staff or the student body within the host institution. Prof. Mele's host institution will be the University of Loughborough but he will visit various other UK universities during a year-long sabbatical.
