Three UCL academics awarded European Research Council grants

Three senior UCL researchers have been awarded European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grants, worth ¤7.35m, to develop their research projects. Professor Jonathan Tennyson (UCL Physics & Astronomy). His project is entitled "ExoMoIHD: Precision spectroscopic data for studies of exoplanets and other hot atmospheres." The project aims to provide data to enable astronomers to analyse the atmosphere of planets orbiting other stars, to better understand their composition. Professor Lucia Michelutti (UCL Anthropology). Her project is entitled "Anthropologies of Extortion" and explores how concepts of extortion have expanded beyond traditional criminal networks to become a normalised part of life in many parts of the world. Professor Morten Ravn (UCL Economics). His project is entitled "Business Cycle Causes & Consequences" and examines the underlying causes of fluctuations in prosperity and employment, the impact on society, and how economic fluctuations could be stabilized through policy interventions.
