International Astronomical Union 24th General Assembly, Manchester, August 2000

I have observed at the Australia Telescope Compact Array, the ANU's 2.3m telescope at Siding Spring and at ESO's New Technology Telescope at La Silla, Chile. I have also used data from the Ryle Radio telescope in Cambridge. I have also been awarded service time on the Anglo-Australian telescope.

I attended the Seventh Synthesis Imaging Summer School, Socorro, Mexico, June 2000

Supervising 1A Mathematics for Natural Sciences, Cambridge, 2000-2002

Demonstrating 1A Physics for Natural Sciences, Cambridge, 2000-2002

4th year project:

I used Time-domain Electromagnetic Sounding Techniques in order to resolve the structure of an ancient buried volcano, by measuring the resistance of the ground as a function of depth. This was in the Geophysics department at the Bullard Laboratories, Cambridge.

4th year field trip:

This was to Greece with the Geology department. We were looking at continental deformation and the varying rates of uplift due to small and large faults - how one large fault may dominate the motion over many smaller faults sloping in varying directions, even to a depth where plastic deformation of the lithosphere may occur.

3rd year literature review:

This was about comparing the velocity of radio trail sources, determined from the synchrotron spectrums in their trails, with that determined from their redshifts. This was in the Astrophysics department of the Cavendish, Cambridge.

I have several years experience of Fortran 90 (and 77), as well as some experience of C and HTML. I am familiar with AIPS, IRAF and Miriad, karma package.

I was chosen for a weeks Insight course at Bath University for Women In Science and Engineering (WISE).

At University I took a short language course in Russian at the language school. Also I have continued studying French and German. I am currently learning Dutch.
