Outreach Activities

Institute of Physics

As an undergraduate I was involved in the local, Lancashire and Cumbria, branch of the Institute of Physics (IOP). This involved going into primary schools putting on a short play called Galactic Gig, followed by providing hands on demonstrations of the physics of light and sound. After moving to Edge Hill University I have got back involved with the Lancashire and Cumbria branch.

Chalkdust

Currently, I am one of the editors of article, Chalkdust magazine. I have written an article (available here) about Skyrmions for Chalkdust alongside my collaborator Bjarke Gudnason. In issue 19 I set the cryptic as Kelpie.

Along with Ashleigh Wilcox, another Chalkdust editor, I was on episode 1 of the Talking Maths in Public podcast, available here . We were discussing our top 3 popular maths books from 2023 based on the Chalkdust Book of the Year 2023 shortlist.

Edge Hill Outreach

I am involved in delivering outreach and taster sessions for stduents interested in Physics who visit Edge Hill. Details of the physics related sessions that we offer are available here.

A profile of my research and how it relates to the physics degree at Edge hill is available here.
