Professor Regan joined NPL in 2013 as the UK’s first Professor of Nuclear Metrology, a joint appointment with the University of Surrey. He has now been celebrated in a newly published international database of isomer discoveries, ranking 10th on a global list of more than 1,000 researchers. His placing is a result of his participation in the ground-breaking discovery and characterisation of nuclear isomers.

The rankings come from a new international database compiled by Professor Michael Thoennessen of Michigan State University and published in Nuclear Physics News International. The findings will be presented at the NUSTAR Annual Meeting in Germany.
