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.
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. I also wrote an opinion piece for issue 21 in defence of toy models. In issues 19 and 21 I set the cryptic as Kelpie.
Along with Ashleigh Ratcliffe, 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.
I am one of the outreach coordinators for the department of Computer Science and Engineering so feel free to get in touch if you have any questions about the outreach activities that are offered by the department.
In my role as a a lecturer in Physics, 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.
