I have a new mug. My kids helped me paint it - my daughter was the one choosing the subject. I am not on here much these days. But I wanted to share this: hold on tight to the ones you love and…love you back.

On my way to #Innsbruck for what will no doubt be a great PhD defense. German speakers call the report ‘Gutachten’ and it is good to celebrate the achievements of one’s talented student after years of hard work. This is what makes this job special. #PhD #milestones #Iremembertheday

The kids really, really wanted to see the super Moon! And so we did! As my son said “These things happen once in a blue moon, after all!” #bluemoon #supermoon #astronomy

I try to build some of these topics into my research; actually the water theme came to me by teaching and then it became a research interest. So today I fulfilled a little dream I have had for the best three years, since starting to teach Mukerji’s Impossible Engineering! Enjoy the photos.
