Over the past year, I worked at Durham University within @sse1k.bsky.social It was a real pleasure to be part of this team! I met wonderful colleagues and made great friends within the Department and the project. A new chapter begins for me this year, but the previous one was amazing💔

Last week I presented at #CAA #UK in Cambridge. It was exciting since these are our first modelling results from the @sse1k.bsky.social project. The presentation went really well, and I’m grateful to the organisers and everyone who made the #conference such a great experience. Photo credit: CAA UK
