Dr Arhat Virdi
Non-stipendiary Lecturer in Economics
Arhat is a lecturer in Microeconomics and Statistics. Arhat is also a Fellow in Finance & Economics at the Saïd Business School and Tutorial Fellow at Oriel College.
Before returning to Oxford in 2014, Arhat was a member of the senior management team at the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA), working as a Director of Policy, Research and Risk; the BMA is the integrated regulator of Bermuda’s financial services industry. Previous to that, he was an LSE Fellow in Economics, a Research Fellow in the Philosophy of Economics at the University of Bielefeld and a Visiting Lecturer in Economics at City University in London.
Arhat read PPE at The Queen’s College, University of Oxford, and went on to do a Masters and Doctorate at the LSE.

Professor Robert Weatherup
Lecturer in Materials
My group works on understanding the reactions that occur at the interfaces between functional materials during operation, that are critical to areas including electrochemical energy storage, heterogeneous catalysis, and materials synthesis. Extracting information about interface structure and chemistry under such working conditions is extremely challenging due to interference from dense phases either side (including the reaction environment). To achieve this, we use a suite of interface sensitive techniques based on electron, X-ray, and neutron probes combined with specially designed reaction environments. This significantly extends the capabilities of these techniques to enable the measurement of liquid environments under electrochemical bias or high-pressure gas environments at elevated temperatures. We aim to use these approaches to establish relationships between interfacial structure and material function in a variety of applications and thus inform the design of improved materials. We further aim to promote widespread adoption of these new characterisation capabilities using both lab-based instruments and at large-scale facilities. To this end, we have close interactions with a number of user facilities including those based at the nearby Harwell Campus (Diamond, ISIS, HarwellXPS).

Yilong Yang
Stipendiary Lecturer in Engineering
BSc in Engineering, University of Oxford
MSc with First Class Honours in Engineering, University of Oxford
Yilong's MSc research delved into investigating the potential application of Deep Learning in extracting diagnostic information from 3D models (presented as point clouds) of human hearts reconstructed from MRI images. The research culminated in a conference paper titled "3D Shape-Based Myocardial Infarction Prediction Using Point Cloud Classification Networks."
Currently pursuing his Doctor of Philosophy degree under the joint supervision of Gunes Baydin and Bora Pulatsu, Yilong's doctoral research centers on employing 3D computer vision, deep learning, and discrete element simulation methodologies to analyze masonry structures. This includes tasks such as displacement monitoring and crack detection.
