Doubles for UCT in the prestigious A- and P-ratings

UCT has a double pairing of new A- and P-rated researchers following the culmination of the 2012 National Research Foundation ratings cycle. They are Professors Jack van Honk (Department of Psychiatry and Mental Health) and Heribert Weigert (Department of Physics), who have received A-ratings, and Drs Dr Åke Fagereng (Department of Geological Sciences) and Andrew Hamilton (Department of Physics), recipients of P-ratings. The latter are significant as they indicate a strong line of developing scholars who show the potential to become future leaders in their fields.
