One hundred staff at Imperial College London have been recognised for their hard work with promotions announced today.

Academics from across the College's Faculties of Natural Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, as well as the Business School and Department of Humanities, have been promoted to senior lecturer, senior research fellow, reader and professor.

The title of professor is reserved for an individual who has achieved international standing and demonstrated international leadership in their relevant subject or profession. Today's announcement includes 27 new professors.
