Buckets full of oil measured by fibre made with a magic laser

Hello! Oh dear god, not again… Yup! I published another paper! And this one’s totally open-access and available to all! 😀 Are you somehow more chirpy and excitable than last time? Yes!! This is the last paper from my PhD and is the sort of final ‘here’s what I made’ paper. Read more…

Viva impending

Update: Viva finished and passed. I’ll write up a summary next week! So 6 months after handing in my thesis I am just a day away from my viva/PhD defence. Rather than spend today writing a blog post, I’m off to go furiously read my textbooks while I try to Read more…

Artistically linked research

Last week I read an excellent blog post by Johanna Kieniewicz on PLOS.org about the combination of art and science.
