The 2015 SEPnet Winter School for Physics postgraduate students took place at the Culham Science Centre (home to JET) in the week beginning 2nd February 2015. There was an unexpected flurry of snow on the Monday evening.

Back by popular demand, the Patterns and Security workshop was delivered by Tony Mansfield (Industrial Speaker, NPL) and Stuart Gibson (Academic Lead, University of Kent).   Presentations on the cutting edge biometric technology and an introduction to pattern recognition, were followed by a hands on activity in which students performed a hierarchical clustering of objects.
