Postdoc in ML for radio astronomy at the University of Manchester! Many of my hobbies are very defunct. She/her.
A day late, but my NeurIPS paper for the ML and the Physical Sciences workshop went up on arxiv yesterday!

arxiv.org/abs/2311.10507

And as for why I'm late advertising it, I have a good excuse...

Anyone who thinks academics are all serious and boring has clearly never had the slightly surreal experience of hearing the office next door giggling and making farm animal noises through the walls (looking at you, @theastrophoenix.bsky.social)

Stopped off in Monaco for a day trip yesterday and have to recommend checking out the Japanese garden if you're visiting - it's genuinely gorgeous

I may have found my next cross-stitch project...
Ok this is amazing and I would 100% make this if I wasn't about to have a baby!

You know, when I started a career in astronomy, I somehow didn't quite imagine that some days that would involve trying to figure out how to open medicine-specific file formats, yet here we are. Nobody can say I'm not picking up a diversity of experience!

My travels have had a decided western Europe bias, although I'm slightly embarrassed to have never made it to Ireland! Still hoping I can find a conference that'd give me the chance to visit Scandinavia, too.
