UCL professors elected academy fellows

We are very proud that in 2016 a total of seven UCL academics were elected as fellows of two prestigious national academies, and all of them are women.

UCL was the first university in the UK to admit women on equal terms with men and we remain committed to promoting gender equality in academia, where there are still few women in the very top jobs.

(From left to right) In recognition of their outstanding research in the humanities and social sciences, Professor Robyn Carston (UCL Linguistics), Professor Susanne Kuechler (UCL Anthropology), Professor Nilli Lavie (UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience) and Professor Sophie Scott (UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience) were elected as Fellows of the British Academy.

And in recognition of their outstanding contribution to science, Professor Eleanor Maguire (UCL Institute of Neurology), Professor Polina Bayvel (UCL Electronic & Electrical Engineering) and Professor Maria Fitzgerald (UCL Neurology, Physiology & Pharmacology) were elected as Fellows of the Royal Society.
