Professor Martin Hendry is Professor of Gravitational Astrophysics and Cosmology and Head of the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Glasgow. He is a fellow of the Institute of Physics, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and is a passionate and skilled science communicator. For his services to public engagement in science, he was awarded an MBE in 2015. 

Prof. Hendry's Tyndall Lecture will focus on the legacy of Belfast-born physicist William Thompson, otherwise known as Lord Kelvin. Prof. Hendry will explain how Kelvin's work on fundamental physics is still impacting the world today, from detecting gravitational waves to addressing the climate emergency. 

The annual Tyndall Lecture is an opportunity for young people in schools on the island of Ireland to connect their classwork to modern areas of physics. The talk is aimed at students aged 14 to 16.
